Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 2023

Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru 2023 is a beautifully refined expression of Pinot Noir from one of the most elegant villages in the Côte de Nuits. Sourced from a blend of Premier Cru parcels, it shows classic Chambolle finesse with aromas of violet, black cherry, and subtle earth, layered with hints of spice and floral lift. The 2023 vintage brings ripe, generous fruit balanced by silky tannins and vibrant acidity, creating a wine that is both supple and structured. Polished, perfumed, and long on the finish, it captures the hallmark “lace and silk” character of Chambolle-Musigny with excellent depth and aging potential.

"The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny ler 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." Vinous 92-94
