Les Noirots lies in the northern sector of Chambolle, flanked by Les Baudes to the north and Les Gruenchers to the south. Ghislaine owns such a tiny parcel of this cru-all of 0.15 hectares-that it was formerly blended into her villages-level Chambolle-Musigny, but she began bottling it separately with the 2017 vintage. Spicy and brooding, "Les Noirots" offers a firmness of structure akin to her Beaux-Bruns, but with less immediate charm; cellaring will certainly help it blossom.

- v91-93
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Noirots ler Cru is one of two debuts from the domaine this year, consisting of two-and-a-half barrels from their 0.15 hectares of 65-year-old vine. This was showing a little reduction on the nose, which features dark berry fruit laced with tobacco and woodland scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh orange peel and espresso-tinged entry. Plenty of fruit here, but quite structured and more masculine toward the saline finish. There is a welcome twist of sour cherry on the aftertaste. Excellent.
