The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Aux Beaux-Bruns, obviously from the premier cru side, has a more voluminous bouquet with fleshy and forward crushed strawberry and red cherry scents that is already very attractive. The palate is medium-bodied but full in the mouth, adorned with soft and corpulent red berry fruit and a lovely, caressing finish that glides to its conclusion. This is superb.
Sweet oak and savoury fruit ? always a welcome combination ? and a whole bunch stemminess too. Dry, grainy tannin. Light body. Lovely flavours, but a little insubstantial on the palate.
