Philippe Pacalet, Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Size:12x750ml Firm reduction renders the nose

Firm reduction renders the nose impossible to assess at present

850 cases made

The modus operandi is similar to other of the top cuvées—harvested into 200-kilogram boxes

and acacia flowers

This is perfectly good but the effects of the hail are not invisible

Philippe Pacalet, Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Size:12x750ml Firm reduction renders the nose(from a blend of Sentiers and Feusselottes). Pretty and well layered aromas consist of plum, violet and spice elements. There is excellent minerality and a relatively refined mid palate mouth feel despite ample muscle and punch reflected by the bitter cherry, moderately firm and palate coating finish. This is not a Chambolle of lace and grace but I like the delivery as well as the underlying material. (90 92) 2024+
