This Chambolle‑Musigny Vieilles Vignes “Les Fremières” from 2012 exudes classic Côte de Nuits allure with deep red fruit and elegant structure. A nose of cherry and blackberry unfolds into a long, poised palate framed by refined yet present tannins that speak of old vines and limestone terroir. The finish lingers with finesse and a whisper of licorice and depth.

From the Archive
Versus the ‘regular’ Chambolle this wine is deeper toned and shows a hint of musky perfume – perhaps a little heavy but quite compelling. Finer tannin here and very good flavour that widens across the palate, filling all the nooks and crannies of your mouth. Long with just a little mineral flavour. Very nice wine. - Burgundy Report
