this is a wine that should reward mid-term keeping

flowers and wet earth open up the nose

Albert Bichot, Chambolle Musigny Chabiots Vintage:2016 Dark and mysteriousA brooding and inexpressive nose mixes notes of red pinot fruit with a lovely array of spice and floral elements, in particular violets. There is a wonderfully refined mouth feel to the seductively textured medium bodied flavors that are finer but less obviously mineral inflected than the Sentiers on the impressively persistent finish. This is very Chambollesque in style and should drink well young as well as reward 8 to 10 years of cellaring. (90 93)
