2023 Chambolle Musigny

Jouan’s Chambolle-Musigny combines fruit from three parcels: Derrière le Four, Les Chardannes and Les Herbues. The nose is high-toned and floral with rose and violets, while there’s tight red-berry fruit and an earthiness too. The palate reveals a lean structure with more crunchy redcurrant fruit and chalky tannins with slightly surprising grip. It’s pure and still feels young, one of the less approachable wines in the vintage – but with plenty of promise.
