Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle Musigny les Cras 1er Cru 2019 (750ML)

96 WA / 93-95 VM / 92-94 BH

The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras is similarly compelling, soaring from the glass with aromas of red berries, exotic spices, orange rind, musk and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and tightly wound, with a deep and vibrant core of fruit that's framed by fine, powdery tannins, it concludes with a long, penetrating and intensely mineral finish. This is a magical Chambolle-Musigny worth a special effort to seek out.—William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Tasting note: Here too there is a note of poached plum to the to the spicy and quite floral-suffused aromas. In the same fashion as the best wines in the fashion, there is impressive volume to the dense and tautly muscular large-scaled flavors that brim with minerality on the austere and very tightly wound finale. This is also excellent with super development potential though extended patience will be absolutely necessary.- Outstanding. Allen Meadows, Burghound
