Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru is a blend dominated by Les Plantes and Combottes. Wafting from the glass with scents of raspberries, rose petals, sweet spices and cherries, it's medium to full-bodied, pure and seamless, with a layered core of fruit and a fine-boned, mineral profile.
Reviewed by: Jim Gordon
A blend of fruit from six different premier cru vineyards that are fermented together. It gives generous floral aromas with lots of black cherries, violets, star anise and cranberries on the palate. Elegant in texture, moderate in tannins and medium in body. Drink now or hold.
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru comes from estate and purchased fruit, five or six different sources blended during vinification, and includes around 35% whole bunches. The bright bouquet offers dark cherries, wild strawberries, and hints of wild heather and sea spray. The medium-bodied palate has pliant tannins, is quite harmonious, and has more dark fruit toward the finish, laced with dark chocolate and brown spices. Very fine.
