1959 Chambolle-Musigny
With Sunday luncheon, I felt that a properly mature (not 1993) red burgundy would be appealing. This wine was bottled by London wine merchants Corney & Barrow Limited. The plain label, with the Royal Warrant, belies the hopefully complex contents. A deep strawberry red with a light red rim. The nose gives me sweet raspberry and strawberry jam, with hints of spices. The mouthfeel is savoury and fresh, with a soft red fruit compote mid palate and a long lingering length. Fully mature if you love old school Burgundy. The last bottle of this wine that I shared about 5 years ago was bigger, bolder and even slightly tannic.
