Chambolle Musigny, Domaine Mugnier 2019

Wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries, plums, rose petals, orange rind and spices, Mugnier's 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Village is medium to full-bodied, velvety and textural, with a seamless core of fruit that entirely conceals its supple structuring tannins. Rich but vibrant, it's striking for its charm and sensuality.

A ripe and agreeably fresh nose combines notes of spiced plum and violet with those of red and dark currant. The racy, intense and mineral-driven flavors possess excellent detail and a bracing salinity, all wrapped in a lingering and youthfully austere finale. This is very Chambolle in character and a wine that should reward up to a decade of cellaring. Note: from two different parcels of vines, one located in the premier cru Les Plantes, which was planted in 1968 and the second from the villages-level portion of La Combe d'Orveau, 60% of which is young vines, and the remainder is 40+ year old vines; the split is about 55% La Combe d'Orveau and 45% Les Plantes
