Domaine Dujac Les Gruenchers, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, France 2023

Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers 2023 is a stunningly graceful Pinot Noir that captures the ethereal beauty for which Chambolle-Musigny is celebrated. From a tiny Premier Cru parcel, Dujac’s signature whole-cluster fermentation adds layers of perfume and spice to vibrant notes of wild strawberry, red cherry, crushed rose petals, and blood orange, all underpinned by hints of sandalwood and forest floor. The palate is silky and finely etched, with exceptional purity, mineral lift, and effortless elegance carried by beautifully integrated tannins. Delicate yet profoundly complex, this is a captivating expression of both site and producer offering immediate charm while promising decades of rewarding evolution in the cellar.

"The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers is showing especially well, bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, orange zest and cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and pure, it's sensual and fragrant, with a vibrant core of fruit and a saline finish." Wine Advocate 92-94
