Chambolle Musigny Vieilles Vignes Perrot-Minot 2016 (750ML)

90-92 Points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous: "(Perrot-Minot's only Chambolle cuvée in 2016, consisting of five barrels of village wine and four of premier cru): Bright, dark red. Sexy scents of red berries, spices, wild herbs and rose petal. A step up in intensity from the village Morey, offering a seamless texture and also brisk minerality to its flavors of sappy red berries and spices. Still a bit youthfully clenched but the spicy, subtly palate-staining features lovely stony mineral grip. Perrot-Minot says that this wine does not have the breed or complexity to be bottled as premier cru owing to its moderate ripeness but it will nonetheless be a 2016 to seek out." 1/18

94 Points, Tim Atkin MW, 2016 Burgundy Special Report: "What was left of the frost-hit crop from the Combe d'Orveaux, normally bottled in its own right, was included in this excellent old vine Chambolle in 2016, joining three other Premiers Crus and a number of village parcels. It's much more than the sum of its parts: a serious, spicy Chambolle with 40% whole bunches and some grip and tension. 2022-30"
