2023 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru

The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is blended with 30% whole bunch. This has a very composed and harmonious bouquet, quite understated at first but gradually unfurling with red berry fruit, briar and a touch of aniseed. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins and light spice notes. There is impressive weight for the vintage, though it's not as powerful as the 2022. Nonetheless, this lingers long in the mouth and has great potential.
