Anne Gros, Chambolle Musigny Combe d'Orveau Vintage:2018 The exceptional expressiveness of so unfiltered 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon The exceptional expressiveness of so many of these wines – even if Olivier Humbrecht admits that “they aren’t always perfectly precise or pure” – is surely in large part a tribute to vineyard management that permitted such a substantial portion of so large a crop to be picked unusually early with star anise and sumac supple and velvety flavors possess ample minerality before terminating in a vibrant finish that tightens up while displaying enough dryness to somewhat impair the overall sense of balance (86 88) 2018+
