As usual in such cases, we may rely on Yoxall. (The wines he refers to
below are 100% Pinot Noir, in case they are unfamiliar to anyone.)


"[Chambolle-Musigny] is said to smell of raspberries, as Echézeaux is said
to do of truffles and Clos Vougeot of violets, but I must have an
insensitive nose as I never catch these nuances; good wines of these
communes just seem to me to have a lovely vinuous bouquet, with Echézeaux
the most pronounced."

"There are two of the comparatively rare Burgundy chteaux at
Chambolle-Musigny, neither very old and each called the Chteaux de
Chambolle-Musigny, which is not very helpful. The older one has splendid
cellars."
