Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Joseph Drouhin 2017 (750ML)

91-93 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Drouhin's 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru is superb, wafting from the glass with an appealing bouquet of raspberries, plums, licorice, spices and dried rose petals that exemplifies the appellation at its best. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with superb concentration and depth, striking purity of fruit and juicy balancing acids, concluding with a long, precise finish. This routinely excellent cuvée-which is mainly made from estate fruit-continues to fly a bit under the radar, so readers would do well to seek it out." 1/19

93 Points, James Suckling: "Fascinating aromas of green coffee beans with ripe strawberries and berries. Medium to full body, round yet firm tannins and a flavorful and juicy finish. Lots of character already. Drink after 2022." 2/19

96 Points, Tim Atkin, Decanter: "This doesn't quite hit the same heights as the 2015 or 2016 releases - few red Burgundies do - but it's still a very impressive rendition of a grand cru bottling that's always among the highlights of Drouhin's tastings. It's subtle, delicate and refined, with chiselled, chalky acidity, pomegranate and wild strawberry fruit, and some sappy notes from 40% whole bunches." 11/18
