Review Date: 10/2021Liger-Belair fermented the fruit with 40% whole clusters during a three-week cuvaison and is ageing it in 30% new oak casks to produce a wine with admirable concentration, plummy fruit and a subtle, nuanced complexity on the finish. This old-vine cuvée is produced from a number of lieux-dits throughout the village, including Fouchères (next to premier cru Borniques below Musigny), Gamaires (next to Morey-Saint-Denis on deeper soil) Fremières and Beaux Bruns.

From five plots, both below and above the village. 40% whole bunches. Very fragrant, classically Chambolle, violets, nothing of a hot vintage, vibrant, absolutely mouth filling, these are old vines from the 1950s for the most part, with a lovely long pulled out red fruit finish. Very fine indeed. Built on a fruit acid balance more than tannins. This year I find the blend more compelling than the two small bottlings of single vineyard Chambolles.

A blend of five parcels with some declassified Premier Cru, the 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Vieille Vignes has quite a precocious bouquet with exuberant red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, silky smooth in texture with a finish with echoes of Ghislaine-Barthod. If you like that style, you will like this. Very fine. (NM)

Ripe and nicely fresh aromas of cherry, cassis and violet are trimmed in subtle though visible wood. There is fine volume and density to the noticeably finer middle weight flavors that are very Chambollesque while exhibiting good power on the youthfully austere finale.
