Domaine Cecile Tremblay Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru les Feusselottes 2013 750ml

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuesselottes was showing some excessive woody character on the nose — something that I picked up upon out of barrel. It barges past what could be some attractive cassis fruit. There is something animally and feral here. The palate is medium-bodied with ample girth, darker fruit than its peers, but the oak is tending to dry out and curtail the finish. Perhaps this was just a little overdone after all — a Chambolle that seems to have slipped its leash perhaps? Tasted September 2016.
