Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Veroilles 2016 Ghislaine Barthod

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

Ghislaine suggested that the 2016 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Véroilles was offered some protection from the frost as it is located in a shallow valley. There are three and a half barrels this year. It has a splendid bouquet with pure dark cherries, rose petals and mineral notes, very focused with conveying a sense of energy. The palate is medium-bodied with tensile, slightly chalky tannins that lend superb tension. There is the same density here as Les Fuées but with just a little more grip and mass on the finish. Superb, especially given that this is a less renowned vineyard.

Medium deep purple, with a touch of oak on the nose. Flamboyant, juicy fruit, not quite as complete on the palate as Les Fuées, more lifted limestone in style, slightly saline but still with exceptional persistence.
