**Note: from a .37 ha parcel that is a monopole at the 1er level - it was upgraded to premier cru status in 1987**
Cool and decidedly restrained aromas reluctantly reveal aromas of poached plum, anise, cinnamon, black cherry and a pretty floral nuance. There is fine richness to the relatively full-bodied flavors that appear to be built on a base of firm minerality, all wrapped in a powerful, muscular and wonderfully complex finale. This too is imposingly structured, yet the supporting tannins are already well-integrated. Excellent.
The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Véroilles is just as compelling as I predicted from barrel. Mingling notes of cherries and wild berries with scents of exotic spices, raw cocoa and forest floor, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and searingly concentrated, with a lively spine of acidity, melting tannins and a long, pungently mineral finish. Taut and vibrant, it will demand at least a decade's patience.
