2021 Chambolle Musigny Les Sentiers

The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Sentiers 1er Cru does not deliver the grace and poise of its peers. Dark red fruit, cranberry and light blood orange scents come through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a candied entry, dark cherries commingling with blueberry and a pinch of black pepper. Cohesive and nicely structured towards the slightly reductive finish, this eventually coheres into a classy Chambolle that will repay cellaring. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
