Domaine Ponsot, Chambolle Musigny Cuvee des Cigales Brut Zero the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer

the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard does not disappoint

it offers a fresh approach to a warm vintage

with ultra refined tannins that provide some grip and stick to your teeth

smoke and flint shavings on a persistent finish marked by brioche and fleur de sel

Domaine Ponsot, Chambolle Musigny Cuvee des Cigales Brut Zero the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer(a cigale is a cicada). Reduction flattens the nose but there is good freshness and vitality to the precise and mineral inflected middle weight flavors that possess both a lovely mouth feel and fine balance on the utterly delicious finish. This is a really lovely Chambolle villages and worth considering. (89 91) 2019+
