FEATURES
🏰 The 2015 vintage for red Burgundy has earned a great reputation, often described as having the concentration of 2005 allied to the sensuality of 2010, resulting in rich and juicy wines. Chambolle-Musigny, in particular, excelled in 2015, especially at the Grand Cru level. It was a hot summer that delivered concentrated ripeness and decent freshness, with drought conditions concentrating the fruit and late rains preserving acidity, leading to deep, concentrated, and balanced wines.
Chambolle-Musigny wines are renowned for their subtlety and elegance, often referred to as "wines of silk and lace" due to their delicate refinement and fruity bouquet. Specific tasting notes for Les Cras 1er Cru from other producers in 2015 mention a nose bursting with red and dark fruits like pomegranate, red and dark cherries, and a hint of strawberries, supported by a tremendous filigree stony minerality. The palate is described as very vibrant and juicy, with impressive transparency and purity. Other notes include aromatic intensity with black plums, violets, and earth, displaying lovely roundness that is rich but not excessive. 【Known as "wines of silk and lace" for their elegance and finesse.】
