Anne & Herve Sigaut Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 'Les Chatelots' 2017

I recently looked at this wine over the course of 24 hours. My first impression was of a wine very serious in nature. By that i mean it is dark, quite full bodied (relative to Burgundy) and firmly structured. The nose shows liqueur cherry, bramble and spiced cherry notes with hints of cola and blood plum. These characters carry through onto the palate which is dense in its layers of fruit which still seem so primary and demanding of time to settle. It's quite a mouthful of fruit and rocky mineral character that sits deep below the surface. There is a slight chew to the tannin which is firm and slightly drying, while remaining tightly grained. Many of these characters, i learn, are inherent of the Chatelots site (and upon reflection, similar traits were seen in the 2012 Barthod Chatelots drunk last year). Overall it's an impressive wine but crying out for some bottle age. I see some elegance emerging over the next 5 or so years in bottle, but you will need to be patient. - Ches Cook, FWC. 

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Chatelots offers up a lavish bouquet of dark cherries, berries, baking chocolate and grilled squab. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and fleshy, with bright acids, largely concealed tannin and a precise, mineral finish. Drink 2020-2040. 91 Points.
