8 of the top Chambolle-Musigny 2014s from Decanter Panel Tasting

A lovely clean nose of brisk red fruit, leading onto decent focus and intensity on the palate of this relatively extracted wine. It has a prominent tannic chassis that clamps down on the finish but nonetheless shows poise and precision. More to come!

A delicious fragrance! Creamy raspberry and clove. There is a lot of oak coming through here, but the rich texture and fresh acidity seem to balance it out and give some coherence and persistence.

An alluring dark raspberry nose here, with juicy red cherry and savoury herbs. A nice Chambolle character shows through the subtle new wood, giving a primary wine with notable structure and rustic heft which will need a bit of time in the cellar to unwind.

Aromas of sappy wild berry fruit, rock salt and whole-cluster fermentation are followed by a comparatively lean, angular Fuées that is still very young. There is solid fruit that continues in a zestful way throughout; a success in its style.

Closed at first, but sweet fruit comes through underneath. The concentration here is impressive, and gives power and intensity to the wine, and seems to have the stuffing to subsume its liberally applied new wood. Less acidity than some, but still some creative tension.

What a beautifully perfumed nose! There are pure raspberry notes and generous swelling fruit across the palate. The oak is well integrated and the fruit returns again at the back. Very classy.
