The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Village unfurls in the glass with aromas of raspberries, plums, rose petals and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and fleshy, it's vibrant and charming, with powdery tannins and a long, spice-inflected finish.

A terrific wine, the 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Village wafts from the glass with aromas of raspberries, rose petals, raw cocoa and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless, it's deep and complete, with a vibrant core of fruit, melting tannins and a long, saline finish.

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village is showing beautifully, offering up aromas of cherries, raspberries and blood orange mingled with rich soil tones and hints of raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, succulent and lively, its ample core of beautifully succulent fruit is built around ripe, fine-grained tannins.

Barthod's beautiful 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village reveals an inviting bouquet of raspberries, red cherries, blood orange and espresso roast, subtly framed by classy new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, layered and succulent, with a fleshy core of fruit, tangy acids and fine but chalky structuring tannins.

The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny was reduced by 40% of production this harvest, withplots closer to Morey-Saint-Denis less affected by frost than others. Now this is much more promising than the Bourgogne Rouge, replete with lively red cherry and wild strawberry fruit, not powerful but delicate. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a fine bead of acidity, what you might describe as a “transparent” Chambolle-Musigny with fine tension and a sense of stoniness on the finish. Classic from start to finish, drink this over the next 7 to 10 years.
