Aromatically, the dark-ruby-colored Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras reveals elegant cherry, crisp currant, and mineral scents. Super-ripe, plummy and black cherry flavors are found in its highly structured, masculine, full-bodied, intense flavor profile. Projected maturity: 2001-2009. 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.A Patrick Lesec Selection (Paris Fax # 011-33-1-42-84-38-22), various American importers.
