A notably floral nose is comprised by notes of red and dark currant and a lovely range of spice elements. There is excellent richness to the very generous, rich and concentrated medium-bodied flavors firm up immediately on the serious and built-to-age finish that is also mildly warm if impressively persistent. At least some patience will be necessary..

The maiden 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers comes from purchased fruit and includes 30% whole bunch fruit. It has a clean and precise bouquet, the 50% new oak neatly integrated and allowing the black cherry, raspberry preserve and iodine scents to flourish. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a firm grip in the mouth. There is clearly good volume here, very well balanced with a sense of brightness and clarity on the grippy finish. Again, like Gilbert's Chambolle Les Feusselottes, it deserves 4-5 years in bottle and will surely drink well for 12-15 years. Good swap!.
