Olivier Bernstein, Chambolle Musigny Lavrottes

Olivier Bernstein, Chambolle Musigny Lavrottes(from 15+ year old vines). A very pretty nose is composed of various red berry fruit scents along with plenty of floral nuances. There is both good verve and detail to the subtly mineral inflected middle weight flavors that terminate in a clean, cool and balanced finish that is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. A Chambolle of delicacy and finesse. (89 91) 2019+
