Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru is pure and pretty, delivering aromas of sweet raspberries, cherries and spices, followed by a medium-bodied, bright and mineral palate, concluding with a perfumed finish. As usual, the blend is mainly composed of domaine fruit.

The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru comes from four of five different lieux-dits that are personally owned by the Drouhins. This is clean and pure on the nose. The 30% whole cluster is seamlessly integrated, with fine mineralité in the background. The palate is medium-bodied, silky smooth and beautifully balanced with fine tannins and a dash of white pepper and sous-bois toward the finish. This is a commendable follow-up to the 2022 and may even surpass it.
