The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a slightly muffled bouquet compared to the other village crus. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannin and I would be looking for some more fruit to come through on the Morey-inspired finish.

The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Village comes from two blocks (Aux Echanges and Les Chardins), and was raised in 20% new oak. It has a potent, perfumed bouquet with chalk-tinged red berry fruit, the whole bunch component (50%) lending subtle undergrowth notes. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin that render this a slightly more masculine Chambolle Village. It is a more powerful style of wine, although it retains satisfying balance and precision towards the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle.

The 2014 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a pleasing purity on the nose with redcurrant and pomegranate scents that are well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, crisp acidity and a very elegant, quite sensual finish. One of the best village crus from Marchand-Tawse.

The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny Village seemed rather broody on the nose. The palate has a saline entry, quite edgy tannin with a little hardness on the finish. This needs to find its footing by the time of bottling.
