The medium to dark ruby-colored 1997 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fremieres has a floral, mocha, and red/blue fruit-scented nose. Mouth-coating layers of cherries and asphalt are found in this medium-to-full-bodied, concentrated, and seductive wine. Well-structured and admirably persistent, it is already delicious, yet can be held for a decade or more.
