The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Derrière La Grange 1er Cru includes 40% whole bunch this year. It has the most vivacious and forward of the domaine’s cuvées, offering ebullient blackberry, raspberry, wild fennel and a hint of oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Quite suave and very harmonious in texture, though it would benefit from more depth and grip toward the finish (perhaps a little more maceration might have helped). Still, this is a finely crafted, elegant Chambolle-Musigny.Inc. VAT£1,038.29 -
Vinous (92)
The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Derrière La Grange 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet, the 30% whole bunch nicely integrated, ditto the 40% new oak. This just sings from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins and candied red fruit laced with white pepper and curry leaf, leading to a cohesive, slightly ferrous finish. This will be fascinating to revisit in bottle.Inc. VAT£917.52 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Derrière La Grange 1er Cru has a vibrant, quite peppery bouquet thanks to the whole bunch addition, well defined with freshly-tilled loam filtering through the black and red fruit.

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru uses 15% whole bunch from the 25-year-old vines (the rest are 10 years old). It has a fragrant, elegant bouquet of blackberry, briar, sage and subtle oxtail aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, very fine tannins, and here the Les Amoureuses character really shines. Veins of blue fruit and spices burst through on the finish. There is an appealing crescendo to this wine and it should age with style and panache.Inc. VAT£3,280.84 -

The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is blended with 57% whole bunch (one-third of this vineyard has just been replanted). It has a lovely bouquet of black cherries, cherry liqueur, black pepper and just a touch of balsamic. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a little more austere than other Les Amoureuses that I have tasted, but leading to a precise finish.Inc. VAT£912.12 -

30% whole bunch. Ripe purple black. There is both weight and class here and it does not appear to have got too ripe which is a fear for early ripening vineyards like Charmes 2018. Actually this is delicious with a very attractive fruit weight, some tannins behind. Overall this is nicely in balance.Inc. VAT£742.32 -

Here the wood is a bit more prominent though by no means invasive to the nicely spicy nose of mostly dark currant and poached plum nuances.

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Plantes 1er Cru was a little muted compared to the other crus on the day of my visit.

The 2018 Chambolle-Musignes Les Plantes 1er Cru has a cohesive, slightly minty bouquet, the 35% whole bunch quite discreet. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and well-judged acidity, and quite elegant in style – more so than previous vintages – with a judicious pinch of white pepper and bay leaf toward the finish. This has plenty of character and should age well over the next 12 to 15 years.Inc. VAT£699.89 -

The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Village includes around 25% whole bunch this year and about 20% new oak. This has a little more cohesion than the Morey Village at the moment on the nose of dark berry fruit, almost pastille-like. The palate is medium-bodied with good grip, fine tannins and commendable delineation on the finish. Quite strict, in the style of a Morey-Village, but there is commendable vigor.Inc. VAT£128.52 -

The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, blended with 40% whole bunch and 50% whole bunch, was showing a bit of reduction when I tasted it at the Domaine. The palate is well balanced and translates the structure of its Mazoyeres roots, perhaps for me, just a little too sweet towards the finish at the expense of some precision.

The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, assiduously judged acidity and a mineral-driven finish that seems to lacquer the mouth after it has departed.

The 2014 Amuse Bouche, the flagship Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend, is absolutely delicious. Dark cherry, mocha, spice and leather open up nicely in the glass.

Wine Advocate (98)
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Dakota (445 cases) is absolutely magnificent. Opaque black/purple in color, it comes across like a Château Montrose from a great vintage – a very earthy St.-Estèphe-inspired wine with the essence of loamy soil and crushed rocks interwoven with blackberry and cassis fruit. Some oak makes an appearance, but it is pushed to the background by the extravagance and enormous body and extract of this wine of phenomenal intensity. This is a classic Pierre Seillan style of wine meant for 25-40 years of cellaring.Inc. VAT£671.98 -
Wine Advocate (97)
Very deep purple-black in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Dakota Vineyard has a compelling savoriness of char-grilled meat and roasted nuts on the nose with a core of crème de cassis, violets and crushed plums plus a touch of garrigue. Medium-bodied and tautly structured with firm, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, it has a incredible depth of primary fruit and earthy layers, finishing with incredible length and a lovely mineral hint. 432 cases produced.Inc.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Dakota (445 cases) is absolutely magnificent. Opaque black/purple in color, it comes across like a Château Montrose from a great vintage – a very earthy St.-Estèphe-inspired wine with the essence of loamy soil and crushed rocks interwoven with blackberry and cassis fruit. Some oak makes an appearance, but it is pushed to the background by the extravagance and enormous body and extract of this wine of phenomenal intensity. This is a classic Pierre Seillan style of wine meant for 25-40 years of cellaring.In Bond£540.00 -

Very deep purple-black in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Helena Dakota Vineyard has a compelling savoriness of char-grilled meat and roasted nuts on the nose with a core of crème de cassis, violets and crushed plums plus a touch of garrigue. Medium-bodied and tautly structured with firm, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, it has a incredible depth of primary fruit and earthy layers, finishing with incredible length and a lovely mineral hint. 432 cases produced.In Bond£517.00
