Classy village Chambolle Musigny. Deep rich Chambolle dark berry textured nose and palate. Excellent balance, I love the melange of earth, gently gamey characters and spices, with balanced background oak, this is very enjoyable, with plenty of time for development. It transcends the vintage and village appelation. Lovely wine.

Visit to Gérard Raphet in June 2014: Good garnet colour. A perfumed, lifted nose of largely black fruits. Also darker fruit on the palate. Fresh and persistent with a lot of matière. It was not very forward, it needs time, the tannins are yet to integrate and are firm on the finish. Quite powerful with a lot of structure. A solid, sturdy, rather than a finessed Chambolle.
