Chambolle Musigny, Les Veroilles, 1er Cru, 2023
Blackberry and blueberry flavours with strong mineral undertones, certainly on the darker side of the Chambolle spectrum, with a stunning satin-like texture. The wine is dense and has structure, rather like Bonnes Mares in profile, but is so suave with it. Véroilles is one of Chambolle’s highest Crus, along with Fuées, adjacent to Bonnes-Mares. It also has denser soils that its neighbouring vineyards often producing very intense, mineral but powerful and compact wines.
critic reviews
The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Véroilles 1er Cru is quite backward on the nose, mainly featuring redcurrant and cranberry, with a hint of leather and dark chocolate loiter in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit. It has similar bone structure to the Fuées. This is tensile, with a dab of cracked black pepper toward the finish. With fine grip and tension, this is a wonderful Les Véroilles that should age gracefully in bottle.
