Chambolle-Musigny wines tease, defy benchmarking and are in a class of their own.

MY favourite among all Burgundy's villages is Chambolle-Musigny, its delicacy and seeming weightlessness enchanting engaging.
One tries almost in vain to pin them down, to tie them to some more familiar and more easily identifiable sensory experience, but with limited success. The wine does not overwhelm the palate with thick bold flavours. The slightness and light-weightlessness of its imprint on the palate haunts and teases long after it is drunk.One searches one's memory bank for a reference standard, for past landmarks, without success. The wine is its own reference.
