Sylvain Cathiard, Chambolle Musigny Clos Orme Vintage:2019 Strong oak spice cannot hide(50+ year old vines raised in 15% new wood). A discreet touch of wood frames fresh and pure essence of red pinot fruit aromas that are in keeping with the supple, forward and delicious flavors that are very Chambollesque in character, all wrapped in a balanced and almost delicate finish. A wine of finesse. (88 91) 2015+
