Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Les Bussières includes a small proportion of whole bunch fruit. It has a harmonious bouquet with red cherries and pomegranate aromas. I appreciate the definition and precision here. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp and crunchy red berry fruit, very natural in style, pure and tensile with a dash of spice on the finish. This should give ten years of pleasure, possibly more.

Bright red-ruby. Very ripe aromas and flavors of black cherry, dark raspberry and licorice are lifted by a violet topnote. Dense, sappy and quite concentrated, with its slightly liqueur-like ripeness leavened by good energy. This chewy, somewhat aggressive village wine is just this side of roasted, finishing with rather powerful tannins. Perhaps a bit of drought stress here.
About the Producer
For vinifications and ageing, our methods are little interventionist.The fruit’s quality is essential to craft 24 great wines. We make fresh, fine and elegant wines which are also full bodied with a long lasting and mouth-watering finish. Each of our terroirs (Clos de la Roche, Morey, Gevrey-Chambertin, …) expresses itself through our wines. Our ageing in barrels (20 to 30% new oak) is rather long (20 or 22 months), on lees and without racking after malolactic fermentation. The wines are bottled using gravity, without fining in order to keep the wine’s freshness and its ageing potential.
