Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
Wafting from the glass with a lovely bouquet of raspberries, peonies, sweet soil tones and warm spices, the 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Bussières is medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with a deep and vibrant core of fruit framed by fine and powdery tannins. This is showing very well.
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.
