Note di degustazione
(the Bussières vines suffered more from mildew than from frost, according to Taupenot, and his parcel of vines above Combe d'Orveaux was totally frosted in '16): Dark red. Aromas of black raspberry and violet convey a peppery nuance but a bit less cut than the Auxey-Duresses premier cru. Sweet and supple on entry, then a bit edgy in the middle. Nicely juicy but a bit unyielding, as there's less supporting material here. Finishes dark and high-pitched, with a mineral element and an impression of hardness.

The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a tight-knit bouquet, earthier than the Auxey-Duresses with a touch of damp woodland complementing the sultry black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, bright red berry fruit laced with sea salt, leading to quite a precise and sappy finish that has more joie-de-vivre than the aromatics. Given the challenging growing season, this is a great success.
This is the first wine to display any reduction and it's enough to presently overshadow the fruit. Otherwise there is once again very good energy and detail to the delicious flavors that possess a notably finer mouthfeel before concluding in an overtly mineral-driven finish.
