Chambolle Musigny Les Fuées, Louis Jadot 2009

A highly perfumed and very Chambolle nose speaks of ripe yet cool mineral-laced red pinot and plum suffused aromas that complement well the intense, delineated and refined middle weight flavors that display a dusty and mineral-inflected character on the mouth coating and mildly austere finish. I like the persistence and this is relatively tight in the context of the 2009 vintage. Moderate patience will be required. In a word, lovely.

Medium red. Superb lift and verve to the aromas of raspberry, rose petal and spices. Juicy, intense and sharply delineated if not especially fleshy or pliant. The flavors of dark raspberry, iron and crushed stone are youthfully tight today, but this firmly tannic wine's clarity and superb length suggest that it will reward time in the cellar.
