Revealing aromas of sweet red berries, plum, fresh mint and peony, Mortet's 2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Aux Beaux Bruns is medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with a seamless core of fruit and a saline, delicately minty finish.
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Aux Beaux Bruns 1er Cru is raised in 30% new oak, including 50% whole bunches with the main stem removed. It has a pure and floral bouquet of dried rose petals infusing the brambly red fruit. The medium-bodied palate has fine tannins, more black fruit here, and touches of sage and clove. Very persistent and harmonious. This is a very elegant Chambolle from Mortet.
