2017 Domaine A.F. Gros Chambolle-Musigny, Burgundy, France

Here the wood treatment is not subtle as notes of menthol, toast and vanilla appear though they’re not so strong as to overshadow the otherwise ultra-fresh and pure essence of dark cherry and lavender. The medium weight flavors possess a polished mouth feel thanks to the fine-grained tannins that shape the lightly mineral-inflected finish. The acidity is bright but not drying and this should drink well young if preferred.
