There is a small production of barrels of the 2013 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Beaux-Bruns this year and like the Castelots, it was suffering a bit of reduction on the nose after a recent racking. The palate is looking fine, however, with its core of redcurrant and raspberry fruit, succulent tannins and keen line of acidity. It segues into a lightly spice finish with commendable density, if not the persistence of a top-flight Chambolle. Still, this should age nicely over the next decade and more.
Ripe and caramelly on the nose, then quite juicy-jelly and confected on the palate. A bit tarty, and doesn?t really convince.
