The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny Village, which sees around 20% new oak and this year includes the entire fruit from Les Combottes, has a very controlled bouquet that gently unfolds with scents of raspberry, briary and just a touch of damp undergrowth. The palate is lithe and focused on the entry, the acidity nicely judged and slicing through the pure black cherry and iodine-tinged fruit. There is very fine density here, especially for a village cru. I would not hesitate in picking up a few bottles of this over-performing village cru.
Dark crimson. The Barthod combination of true-to-type perfumed Chambolle with real undertow and solidity. Savoury stew of chestnuts and prunes. Not cheap! Dry finish. Wait quite awhile.
