Chambolle Combe d'Orveau, Domaine Bruno Clavelier 2013

Tasting Notes

This is almost Vosne-like given how spicy the essence of red berry fruit liqueur suffused nose is where there is just enough wood to notice. The silky mineral-driven flavors are ultra-pure and refined before culminating in a linear and hugely long finish. I like the mid-palate volume and concentration as there is plenty of tannin buffering sap present. In brief, this is a very impressive wine of harmony and grace.

The 2013 Chambolle Musigny la Combe d’Orveaux offers a cheeky hint of truffle on the nose that is well defined, touches of flint coming through with time, quite complex and mercurial. The palate is nicely structured, a little more masculine, with an appealing grainy texture, fine mineralité and commendable precision on the finish. This is a neat ‘n' tidy Chambolle that should age well over 10-15 years.
