Anne et Herve Sigaut Chambolle Musigny les Sentiers Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru (375ML)

From Chambolle-Musigny

Vintage:	2020
Description:	94 Vm / 92-94 Jm / 90-93 Bh. The vineyard lies below Bonnes Mares. Note: from vines planted in 1947. The 2020 Chambolle Musigny les Sentiers 1er Cru, courtesy of 70 year old vines, is much more backward on the nose compared to the Noirots, but no less complex with lovely forest floor, and wild mushroom scents interpolated amongst the dark fruit. There is something almost autumnal here. The palate is fresh and lightly spiced with a dash of white pepper, cohesive and structured with a very persistent finish. Excellent.-Neal Martin, Vinous Media. Planted in 1947, the vines are still in excellent health. Really lovely nose, suggestive of tiny berries, red and black. Could be very dark redcurrants or bilberries. This is very succulent in the middle but retains the firmness of structure which characterises these wines. Tasted: December 2021.-Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. Tasting note: A slightly more elegant nose offers up its aromas of red and dark currant liqueur, anise, violet and more discreet wood influence. The rich and sleek middle weight flavors possess excellent intensity as well as fine persistence on the balanced finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose reappears. This is a bit woody at present, but the requisite density appears to be present such that it will ultimately successfully integrate. Outstanding. Allen Meadows, Burghound.
