Domaine Michel Gros Chambolle Musigny 2017

An elegant version, this red is focused by vibrant acidity, ushering the cherry, currant, smoke and spice flavors to a lingering aftertaste. Supportive tannins are firm and integrated, and the finish resonates. Long and succulent.

This too sports a spicy nose though the fruit profile is higher-toned with its notes of red currant, rose petal and lavender, all of which is trimmed in a background hint of wood toast. The attractively detailed middle weight flavors are shaped by refined tannins on the solidly complex and impressively persistent finish.
