The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Véroilles is just as compelling as I predicted from barrel. Mingling notes of cherries and wild berries with scents of exotic spices, raw cocoa and forest floor, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and searingly concentrated, with a lively spine of acidity, melting tannins and a long, pungently mineral finish. Taut and vibrant, it will demand at least a decade's patience.
Cool and decidedly restrained aromas reluctantly reveal aromas of poached plum, anise, cinnamon, black cherry and a pretty floral nuance. There is fine richness to the relatively full-bodied flavors that appear to be built on a base of firm minerality, all wrapped in a powerful, muscular and wonderfully complex finale. This too is imposingly structured, yet the supporting tannins are already well-integrated. Excellent.
Monopole. Huge intensity here, this is a pretty substantial wine in 2019 despite the hillside setting. There is a flush of acidity running through the dark strawberry fruit which has got ripe while the structure remains fresh. Leaves a fine aftertaste with some salinity. 5 barrels made.
