2015 Ghislaine Barthod, Chambolle-Musigny 1x750ml

Vinous 90

Good dark red. Aromas of roasted black cherry and licorice show a distinct element of surmaturite following the 2016s at this address, but quickly gained in energy and lift. Wonderfully sweet, spicy and concentrated for the vintage, with no shortage of acidity. A dark berry fruit bomb in the mouth, showing the creaminess of the vintage, but becomes more airy as it opens in the glass. Very long for village wine, finishing with ripe tannins saline mineral grip. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/01/2018]

Robert Parker 91

The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Village, which contains around 20% new oak, has a crisp black cherry and raspberry-scented bouquet, tight at first but fanning out with open arms upon aeration. The palate is just wonderful: super fine tannin, a killer line of acidity, a little crunchiness to the texture, but bestowed with immense purity on the finish. The saline touch completes one of the best village crus that I tasted during my visits. [Neal Martin, 29/11/2016]
