(WA90-92 points) The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers comes from a small 0.32-hectare parcel of vines planted after the war. It has a gorgeous bouquet with an intermingling of red and black fruit, minerals, hints of seaweed emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, almost obdurate tannins. This feels like a more masculine Chambolle, structured and perhaps even introspective towards the spice-tinged finish. Good persistency in the mouth, fine matiere here, it should develop more charm once in bottle. - Neal Martin
