Chambolle Musigny, La Combe d'Orveau, Cuvée Ultra, VV, 2022
Here the register is more red fruited, but also there’s more of a focussed character on the palate compared to Richemone Ultra; the Combe d’Orveaux is upper register, with fine minerals, fine flowers, and a sense of this high toned ethereal intensity – power with very little weight –floating across the palate with a sense of grace and levity. This is dancing, all delight. Salty to finish. Very impressive. What a brace this would make with Richemone Ultra!
critic reviews
The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d'Orveau Cuvée Ultra has a very enticing bouquet that is leaps and bounds above the previous vintage: cranberry, raspberry coulis, touches of rose petal and white flower; aromatics seem to gather momentum in the glass. The palate is beautifully balanced with slightly grainy tannins, a bit firmer than other cuvées, though that means there is more grip and structure towards the saline finish. Excellent.
