the ’09 is excellent nonetheless

Dark and mysterious

this is a wine that should reward mid-term keeping

Deeper register aromas of earthy but spicy dark berry fruits and a touch of animale leads to serious

Albert Bichot, Chambolle Musigny Chabiots Vintage:2016 the ’09 is excellent nonethelessA brooding and inexpressive nose mixes notes of red pinot fruit with a lovely array of spice and floral elements, in particular violets. There is a wonderfully refined mouth feel to the seductively textured medium bodied flavors that are finer but less obviously mineral inflected than the Sentiers on the impressively persistent finish. This is very Chambollesque in style and should drink well young as well as reward 8 to 10 years of cellaring. (90 93)
