2023 Chambolle Musigny Les Fuees

The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru is a worthy follow-up to the impressive 2022. Dark berry fruit, cola and light crushed stone scents unfurl on the glass. There's real presence and depth here and it's quite detailed. The palate is beautifully balanced, fresh and vibrant with chalky tannins and blood orange infusing the red berry fruit with impressive depth toward the finish. The aftertaste is vivacious and peppery, lingering longer than other cuvées. To quote Sade Adu, this is a "smooth operator."
