This is equally pretty and even cooler with its airy if slightly riper mix of both red and dark pinot fruit, violet, plum, exotic tea and all but invisible wood nuances. There is excellent volume and punch to the focused and quite powerful medium weight flavors that possess a caressing mouthfeel on the even more mineral-inflected finish that goes on and on. Note well however that this palate coating effort is very much built-to-age and is going to need it.
92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru, derived from young vines in the Musigny, offers up a lovely bouquet of black cherry, summer fruits, caramelized citrus peel and subtle espresso roast. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and fragrant, with sappy acids, good concentration and a chalky chassis of tannin. Like the Chambolle Villages, this was rather dramatic in barrel but it's now beginning to shut down. (
