From the superbly situated string of vineyards Feusselottes-Chatelots-Gruenchers, the Pacalet 2005 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru smells sexily sweetly ripe, musky, floral and spicy. Like a kirsch-filled, nutmeg-dusted chocolate, it explodes on the palate with liqueur-like, distilled, and fresh cherry essences. Creamy in texture yet juicy, refined in tannins, this offers salty, savory, mineral nuances to complement the sweetly, overly rich side of its character, aptly illustrating the possibility in 2005 of pushing ripeness to an extreme degree without losing freshness or shape.
