2015 Domaine Frédéric Magnien Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes

Fresh, direct nose with lots of correct fruit and the right structure. It's easy to see why this is more expensive than lesser appellations. Well balanced. But a tad severe on the end. (JR)

Quite late-picked nose and then tight palate. (JR)

Medium bright red. Very reduced nose shows a distinctly syrupy quality to its candied red fruit aromas. Plusher and sweeter than the Vosne-Romanée Champs Perdrix, offering strong berry fruit lifted on the end by a slight peppery quality. Finishes with substantial but plush tannins and nice length. Fat more than deep, this wine will offer considerable early appeal.
