Medium ruby-colored, the Chambolle-Musigny displays a crisp nose of raspberries and cherries and a silky-textured, elegant, well-balanced rose and black cherry-filled personality, described by Millet as having "good vibrations." It will be at its best for the first 5 years after its release. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided.
