2005 Domaine Fourrier Chambolle-Musigny Vieille Vigne - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny (6/17/2020)
Sometimes you open the right wine at the right moment. Tonight I opened my last bottle of this Chambolle, and was blown away. Gentle red fruit, clean, loamy earth, subtle herbs, worn leather - all the things I look for in a bottle of Burgundy with some age. It still shows a notable structure, but that just keeps it together, framing a beautiful picture of a well tended garden in the fading summer light. Sigh.
