Francois Bertheau, Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Vintage:2018 Another estate owned by perfectionist

Another estate owned by perfectionist Alain Vauthier (the proprietor of Ausone)

While this did open with a trace of reduction it quickly dissipated to reveal subtle wood nuances on the ripe but cool aromas of citrus and various white orchard fruit scents

but much of that has been absorbed into the wine

This mineral-suffused effort is very Chambolle in character and should be approachable young

Francois Bertheau, Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Vintage:2018 Another estate owned by perfectionist(a 1 ha blend of Groseilles, Baudes, Noirots and Gruenchers). This is aromatically more elegant and a bit cooler as well though it is still notably ripe with its array of essence of red cherry, pomegranate and a nicely broad range of spice elements. There is adequate vibrancy to the attractively textured medium bodied flavors that terminate in a sappy if slightly austere finish that exude a touch of acidulated cherry bon bons. Fine quality here.
