"This is also ultra-floral in character with its highly complex and airy nose that includes notes of spicy red currant and pomegranate. There is terrific richness to the more mineral-driven and caressing middle weight flavors that deliver outstanding balance, depth and persistence on the chiseled and explosive finale. In contrast to the Noirots this is very Chambolle in basic character and should age beautifully well."

"Medium red. Red berries and a hint of flowers on the nose. Silky, rich and seamless, showing good volume and fat to its strawberry fruit. Nicely saturates the palate on the persistent back end, with the tannins noticeably sweet for the vintage." -Stephen Tanzer

"The 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Combe d'Orveaux was just a little reduced on the nose when we met at the domaine. Like the Noirots, this is holding something back. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit; there is mouth-sapping salinity here and it is delineated with good tension, gently building towards a lightly grippy finish. Once the aromatics awaken, this will be a lovely Chambolle Musigny, even if it is a bit of a broody bugger out of barrel." -Neal Martin

"Intense and unyielding, with cherry, blackberry, violet, smoke and mineral flavors yielding to dense yet ripe tannins on the finish. Nicely proportioned and lively, offering a long aftertaste."
