I'm familiar with this producer, but the first time seeing this single lieu-dit (Les Sentiers) selection. Very nice effort here. Double decanted with 2H rest. 93-94 — 4 years ago

Really an exceptional perfectly aged red burgundy from our favorite appellation. Had at Tour d’Argent in Paris - one of the best wine lists in the world. Crazy value for a wine this old, and really delicious. Very aromatic with dried red fruit and some definite secondary / tertiary notes. But palate is quite fresh - lots of acid and a hint of menthol. Well integrated tannins and very smooth and persistent finish. Excellent. — 8 years ago

Just a brilliant wine from Michel Magnien, this 1er cru has retained an impressive amount of primary fruit after more than a decade. Almost CA-esque in its aromatics (no doubt related to the heat in 2003), the wine still retians an undercurrent of earthiness that allows it to evolve as it sits in the glass. Terrific balance across the mid-palate with layers of red fruits coupled with hints of morel and pine intermixed. Elegant in its evolution, the wine has an utterly seamless finish. Probably has many more years of evolution agead of it, but it’s drinking perfectly now. — 8 years ago

Atherton Wine Imports 2026 tasting at République, Los Angeles. 2023 vintage. Hard to find affordable (a relative term re: Burgundy) Chambolle Musigny premmie Cru offerings and this one’s not helping. Has many of the attributes that make CM so great. Decisions…decisions. Medium/medium-heavy body along with full spice racks on both sides of the mouth. Plenty to go around in the back along with some exquisite polish to conclude the ceremony. 3.18.26. — 3 months ago
