The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Village has an attractive bouquet of bright, well-defined red berry fruit,sous-boisand rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins; theres a sense of vibrancy and tension here, with a very well-controlled and persistent finish. This is worth seeking out.

When mature, barrels containing the same variety of wine are blended in a single vat using a racking process. Domaine bottled without it being clarified or filtered in any way.

The wines characteristics: Complex, rich and romantic, an elegant wine characterised by red berries. A splendid wine that is silky smooth in its younger years, yet also ages well, appealing to those who appreciate wines with more developed aromas. Ripe, dark berry nose. Black fruit with a rich, velvety center. Some herbal notes. Nice grip on the finish.
