Albert Bichot, Chambolle Musigny Chabiots Vintage:2016 600 bottles were filled in

600 bottles were filled in May 2017

the ’09 is excellent nonetheless

flowers and wet earth open up the nose

a note of cedary oak and lovely subtle length

this is a wine that should reward mid-term keeping

Albert Bichot, Chambolle Musigny Chabiots Vintage:2016 600 bottles were filled inA 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)
