Vinous (91+)
Good full, dark red. Raspberry and stone on the nose, lifted by floral high tones. Denser and spicier than the village Chambolle, showing a bit more oak influence but not quite the pristine fruit quality of that wine. More saline and electric. Best today on the very long back end, which features firm, chewy tannins.HK$8,000.00 -
Vinous (91)
Medium red. Complex, slightly exotic aromas of raspberry, cherry, red licorice, minerals and smoky underbrush. Saline and classically dry on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity giving the wine a rather suave texture. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and lingering notes of earth and dried herbs.HK$8,905.00 -

Much more intense than the village wine. Lots of sweetness but with a medicinal note too. No reduction here. Very fine tannins. Great polish and depth. Like a very muscular ballet dancer.HK$13,760.00 -

The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru has a very refined bouquet, quite sensual in style with intense red cherries and wild strawberry fruit infused with minerals. This is just pure class - as good as you will find from this vineyard. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, and very cohesive. A very elegant and refined finish. Simply one of the finest Fuées the Domaine has ever made. Tasted at the Domaine.HK$10,245.00 -

The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru has a brisk black cherry, raspberry and oyster shell-scented bouquet that is very well delineated. The palate is very well balanced with firm tannins, layers of pure mineral-driven red fruit, quite stern and "serious" on the finish with a sappy aftertaste that you don't want to end. Wonderful.HK$6,345.00 -
Wine Advocate (93+)
Mugnier's 2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées is pretty and fine-boned, wafting from the glass with notes of sweet red berries, peonies and orange zest, framed by an extremely discreet patina of sweet oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a cool core of fruit, melting tannins and a saline finish, its structural charm renders it deceptively approachable, even if I think patience is in fact likely to be rewarded.HK$6,565.00 -

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)
A fine mid purple, the bouquet follows in the path of the village Chambolle but with much greater density. Splendid purity once again with an almost haunting quality of fruit, ripe cherries, fresh strawberry and persistent raspberry, with a fresh spicy finish. Very persistent. Drink from 2032-2040.HK$14,795.00 -

Good dark red. Compellingly vibrant aromas of raspberry, strawberry and blood orange lifted by spices and crushed stone. Intense and alive on the palate, boasting terrific density for village wine. The long, sweet, palate-staining finish features dusty tannins and impressive energy. A big success.HK$4,535.00 -

(racked two weeks before my visit) Medium red. High-pitched aromas of raspberry, rose petal, white pepper and orange peel. Juicy, precise and mineral-driven, with lovely purity to the blueberry and blackberry flavors. Finishes with noteworthy energy and mounting length. Real wine-class Chambolle.HK$4,455.00 -

(1x75cl) 2014Vinous (91)
Bright medium red. Compelling perfume of raspberry, flowers, game and leather, still with a touch of reduction. Tactile and vibrant in the mouth, with complex flavors of red berries, flowers and flint accented by soil and light veggie nuances. Not as thick as the young 2015 but a wonderfully expressive and complete village wine. Finishes saline and sweet, with fine-grained tannins and superb length and soil character. Frederic Mugnier noted that this wine can be kept for a long time but emphasized that it doesn't benefit as much from aging as the crus do.HK$4,270.00 -

(1x75cl) 2017Vinous (90)
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village offers attractive brambly red fruit mixed with undergrowth and light peppery scents on the nose – very classic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, and quite taut and linear, perhaps needing just a little more matière on the finish to warrant long-term cellaring. Fine.HK$5,080.00 -
Decanter (94)
Fred Mugnier and his team made some of best wines in Chambolle-Musigny in 2018, typified by the quality of this village cuvée from La Combe d'Orveaux and a little bit of the Les Plantes Premier Cru.

Delicious drinking.HK$5,075.00 -
