2013 Domaine Bertheau (Pierre et François) Chambolle-Musigny
Community Tasting Note
kohada Likes this wine:
Thursday, December 23, 2021 - Comes across riper than expected for Chambolle - delicious nonetheless. Raspberry liqueur and whiffs of bramble and spice to offset the ripeness. Not the most profound yet very drinkable over dinner.
EDIT: Really develops with some air. Do not make the same mistake I did and judge too early; really comes into its own with an hour to breathe. Spice notes and fruit intensifies and integrates. Word of warning to all who taste a small splash of wine soon after it's poured. Texture also much improved... can drink entire bottle myself now. Will not do so out of propriety and will share with the chef and maitre'd.
