2017 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Fuées

Allen Meadows' Burghound: Once again, firm reduction masks the fruit. The more tightly wound and slightly denser medium weight flavors are both more refined and more mineral-inflected while there is markedly better depth and persistence on the serious and youthfully austere finish where a touch of bitter cherry pit emerges. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2019

Vinous: The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru underwent a relatively late malolactic and so had only recently been sulfured. Matured in 50% new oak, this has an intense, pure bouquet of black cherries, blueberry and violets, all very natural and well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive sucrosity on the entry, matched by a fine line of acidity. There is density to this Les Fuées, and the lovely saline, slightly licorice-tinged finish lingers long in the mouth. Excellent. - Neil Martin, Jan. 2019
