Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut
Les Fuées Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Chambolle-Musigny, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Shame on me for pulling the cork a few years too early on this one, but had to for a customer event. And, hey, it was a good learning experience. Intoxicating red currant, cherry aromas, underbrush, dried herbs and spice, dense tannins but smooth like suede (unfortunately those tannins were ever so slightly bitter on the finish). I expect the palate will develop with time (tannins could chill out just a bit more and expect the subtle oak spice will take more of a back seat with time). A very good wine that aspires to be - and just might become - outstanding. Great example of the iron first in a velvet glove.
