The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru has an open nose of brambly red fruit, sous-bois and wilted rose petals, very pure and charming, and not dissimilar in style to François Bertheau's Chambolle 1er Cru. The palate is very harmonious, open and transparent. It feels lighter than others, yet the tension and precision will see this age with style, and perhaps it will not close down. Tempting now, but I would prefer to wait. Classy. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. -- Neal Martin

Soaring from the glass with a lovely bouquet of raspberries, red cherries, spices, orange rind and coniferous forest floor, Drouhin's 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village is medium-bodied, velvety and supple, with succulent acids, melting tannins and a fragrant core of fruit. Tasted from bottle, this quintessentially elegant wine is showing very well, and it will offer a broad drinking window. - William Kelley
