Chambolle Musigny
Chambolle-Musigny boasts 24.24 hectares of Grands Crus across two vineyards. The wines are graceful and charming. They are not the deepest-coloured of Burgundies, nor the most structured, but they deliver a sensuous fruit and a laciness of texture which are entirely satisfying. Le Musigny represents the finest of all Grands Crus excepting perhaps some of the monopolies of Vosne-Romanée.

Patrice et Michele Rion,
For laying down,
This site was planted in or around 1945. The Rions have used some whole bunches here to balance the softer style of the cuvée, providing more structure and minerality. The raspberry fruit fills the middle of the palate, leading to an exquisite finish. Drink 2022-2030.
Jasper Morris MW, Wine Buyer
With more than 35 vintages under his belt, Patrice Rion considers that 2015 is the finest of his career, offering elegance, acidity and persistence. They began picking on 5th September and finished before the rain which arrived the following weekend. The only sorting that needed doing was to remove any dried-out berries. The yields were acceptable, just 10 percent down in volume on the previous vintage. Unusually, Patrice and his son Maxime have used some whole bunches on certain cuvées, notably the Clos des Argillières and Clos St Marc.

Domaine Georges Roumier,
For laying down,
This is as sensational as you would expect. The nose is a glorious expression of the vineyard with the typical, slightly wild touch on top of the velvety richness. There is a magnificent wealth of fruit in the mouth, with an impeccable structure of ripe tannins to back it up. Start drinking this wine as it begins its second decade. Drink 2015-2025.

De Vogue,
For laying down,
It has a very composed and quite dense bouquet with wild strawberry and blueberry scents, more opulence coming through with time, red rose. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a subtle marine influence flowing under the surface of red cherry and wild strawberry notes, an almost confit-like finish that feels dense and with plenty of substance. This is a sophisticated, almost saturnine Musigny -- a Pandora's Box of secrets that will only be revealed with age.

Domaine de la Vougeraie,
For laying down,
The 2014 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, containing 80% whole cluster fruit this year, has a focused, delineated nose, perhaps missing the exuberance that this vineyard can bestow, but it unfurls nicely in the glass revealing touches of woodland and undergrowth (actually quite Musigny-like!).
The palate is fresh on the entry with a fine line of acidity, great tension and focus here with a slightly tapered and yet long and tender finish. This is a sophisticated Bonnes Mares that is a little teasing out of barrel, but will grow up into a great, perhaps more 'serious' wine.-2019 - 2040

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard,
For laying down,
Purple, concentrated fruit, this offers a lovely, graceful, Chambolle feel, less concentrated than the Nuits but more elegant, with a delicious volume of fruit right across the palate.
In the vineyard Sébastien has been moving towards an organic approach. In the cellar, while vinification remains broadly similar, much less new wood is being used during élévage: the village cuvées have been reduced to 50 percent and the crus to two thirds, with a slightly lighter toast being employed in the barrels. All the wines are so much more elegant with less new wood. The 2014 vintage is lovely here.

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod,
For laying down,
Mid-purple with laid-back, elegant fruit, there is notable delicacy here: bright cherry fruit with a light, velvet coating. It has a nice finish with precision and style; this is graceful.
As always, Ghislaine gives a very thoughtful, un-mediatised version of the vintage: it was a cool damp summer, there was some rot, sorting was necessary, but afterwards the fruit was healthy. She began picking on Sunday 14th September, when the grapes were just ripe, and still had very good acidity. Ghislaine may be modest about her wines, but we think they are fabulous this year!

Dujac Fils et Pere,
For laying down,
Bright purple, and though the nose shows a very faint reduction, the vibrant purple fruit with dark raspberry notes displays lovely energy and a fragrant finish: this is very complete.
Volumes available are somewhat restricted in 2014, athough the fruit was ripe and healthy and yields were better. The problem here is continuing to be able to source grapes at an acceptable price, but fortunately the Dujac team is savvy enough to know what works in the marketplace. This is another producer who is reducing the percentage of new oak. Also a good thing in the marketplace.

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod,
For laying down,
A lovely purple, this has a really classic nose of a justripe vintage: cherry kernel, plenty of fruit, good length and follow through. This will make a classic bottle in five years.

Patrice et Michele Rion,
For laying down,
Until 21st January this product is discounted by 30 percent. Price shown includes saving.*
Medium deep purple, with a lovely sensual nose, this has classical Chambolle succulence, and an impressive depth of flavour. It very much shows the raspberry and cherry flavours of the vintage. Long and fine.
Patrice Rion compares 2014 to a mix of 1979 and 1989 for the aromatics and delighted to have been able to pick a more or less normal-sized crop. He began on 12th September with healthy grapes, reinforced by his system of two sorting tables, one before and one after de-stemming. The amount of new oak has been reduced here, now just 30 percent on most cuvées.
*Discount is already applied to the single-bottle price and no further discount will be applied at checkout. Discount only applies to 75cl bottles and does not apply to any other sizes or formats.
