Note: from Les Gamaires. A discreet application of wood is present on the fresh and pure essence of red pinot fruit and a background floral hint. The mouthfeel of the middle weight flavors is even sleeker with good if not special length on the equally lightly austere finale.

The 2024 Chambolle-Musigny Village, which has around 20% whole bunch, has a light, airy bouquet with raspberry and cranberry fruit, well defined if just missing the ripeness of the previous vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Pretty, poised and with just a touch of black pepper on the finish, this is a perfectly decent early-drinking Chambolle-Musigny.(NM)
