The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Aux Beaux Bruns comprises only six barrels this year, half the normal production, with one-third new oak. It has a relatively light bouquet for a Beaux Bruns, gradually unfolding with red berry fruit, something almost ferrous, with blackberry and briary scents emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. I find this Chambolle harmonious and composed, not long like the 2015 but detailed with fine mineral tension on the finish.
