Peter Maude Fine Wines
2021, Domaine Lignier-Michelot, CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY, 'Vielles Vignes'
$128
From 50+ year old vines in Les Drazey and Gamaires (MSD side of Chambolle).
80% whole bunch vinification. A solid purple with a slightly stolid bouquet, not entirely typical of the appellation. The stems showing in a slightly vegetal fashion. Fresher behind, finishing with a considerable punch, reintroducing red fruit whereas it had started out darker. Drink from 2026-2030. *** 88-90 Jasper Morris MW.
An elegant, cool and airy nose blends notes of black cherry, cassis, black raspberry and violet. The dense, delicious and tension-filled middleweight flavours culminate in a robust, serious and long but not rustic finale. Solid quality here. 88-91 Burghound.
