This Chambolle-Musigny from Domaine Bouvier is elegant and gourmet in this 2018 vintage. With its intense ruby color, this wine expresses black fruit aromas with light spicy notes. A sustained attack reveals a lovely freshness with round, ripe tannins.RVF: 16/20B&D: "It displays the domaine's hallmark, a charming tactile roundness, harvested very ripe, it has surprising length, very Vosne by its unctuous black fruitiness."Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2020, domaine 1 étoile: "This family estate for three generations has a rare heritage of old vines, with an average age of around 50 years. Bernard Bouvier, 52, signed his first vintage in 1986 and is one of a generation of winemakers who have brought new blood to Burgundy. After having, like many others, given in to the siren song of modern, highly extracted wines, he has corrected course to produce finer cuvées. 2009 marks the transition to organic viticulture, and 2010 the start of the use of whole grapes, averaging 50% for all wines. A more moderate use of new wood and more precise choices of ripeness have recently produced much more accomplished wines, rewarded last year with a first star. "
