Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Bussières 1er Cru, which includes 20% whole bunches, offers pretty raspberry and wild strawberry scents and hints of rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, gently gripping on the front of the mouth. The slightly firm, rigid finish will require three or four years to mellow.

Aromas of sweet red cherries, raspberries, peony, raw cocoa and warm spices introduce the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Bussières, a medium-bodied, velvety wine with a juicy core of fruit framed by fine, chalky tannins.
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.
