CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY Cuvée Jules 1er Cru Domaine Lignier-Michelot 2018

(from purchased fruit in Sentiers, Chabiots and Chatelots; released under the Maison Virgile Lignier label; 100% whole cluster). A pretty high-toned and intensely floral nose offers up reasonably fresh and liqueur-like aromas of various dark berries cut with ample spice nuances. The palate feel of the medium-bodied flavors is suave and rich to the point of opulence where the abundant sap enrobes the firm tannins supporting the mildly warm finish. This isn’t particularly energetic but it is certainly seductive.

CHÂTEAU QUINTUS Grand Cru Saint Emilion 2019

The 2019 Quintus, matured in 40% new oak, presents a fragrant, quite floral nose of black cherries, violet, incense and light orange pith scents; the oak is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fresh entry and blood-orange-infused black fruit. The Cabernet Franc imparts real spiciness toward a finish that lingers in the mouth. This will need a few years just to lose some of its youthful fieriness, but it should age well in bottle.
