Note di degustazione
The 2011 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru is a vintage that I have not tasted for three or four years. Quite light on the nose, it feels maybe more tertiary than I would have liked, airy, some stemminess evident with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet cherry core, redcurrant, orange rind and hints of allspice towards the finish that, to me, is beginning to show a little greenness. That said, it does cohere in the glass, and I am encouraged to raise my score over the course of an hour. Tasted blind at the Roumier Les Cras vertical at Medlar, London.

The 2011 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru has a similar bouquet to the one I encountered in 2014: open-knit, quiet tertiary on the nose, the fruit only gradually surfacing with aeration. The palate is built around quite firm and rigid tannin, rendering this a more masculine Les Cras with a grippy, almost Morey-like tea-leaf tinged finish. Excellent. Tasted at Maison de Colombier in Beaune.
Good bright red. Exotic red berry liqueur, flowers, passion fruit and peach on the nose. Fat and sweet for this cru; softer and less refined than the 2012 version. Still, this shows better inner-mouth tension than the Combottes and finishes firmer, with chewy tannins.
