Boursot Chambolle-Musigny 2018

Boursot’s village-level Chambolle-Musigny shows why the town holds mythic status among Burgundy lovers. Even in a lineup of elegant wines, Chambolle is on another level. Made from vines in the Nazoires vineyard near the Vougeot border, this cuvée perfectly combines Boursot’s gnarled, masculine style with tender terroir of Chambolle.

The result is a delight — a deep, intensely dark nose with notes of perfume, violets, cassis and wild cherries. The mouth is elegant and broad shouldered, like a rugby player in a three piece suit; look for notes of tobacco, plum, smoke, woods, and blackberry.
