Chambolle Musigny Aux Beaux Bruns 2016 Ghislaine Barthod

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (91)

The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Aux Beaux Bruns comprises only six barrels this year, half the normal production, with one-third new oak. It has a relatively light bouquet for a Beaux Bruns, gradually unfolding with red berry fruit, something almost ferrous, with blackberry and briary scents emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. I find this Chambolle harmonious and composed, not long like the 2015 but detailed with fine mineral tension on the finish.

Rich and sweet. Round and lively. Full of life.

This is more aromatically elegant than usual with its fresh array of cool essence of red currant, cherry, violet and soft spice wisps. There is fine density to the sappy and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that display fine depth and persistence on the balanced finish. This is a classic Beaux Bruns that combines a taut muscularity with a refined mouthfeel.
