Chambolle Musigny, Les Veroilles, 1er Cru, 2024
Very fine, sweet, delicate fruit from this 0.37 ha parcel—a monopole for Barthod in the 1er cru sector. Gorgeous texture; shimmering, flowing fruit. A beautifully fine, lifted wine with exquisite definition. Lovely plus. This is one of Chambolle’s higher Crus, sitting adjacent to Bonnes-Mares. It also has denser soils than its neighbouring Chambolle vineyards, often producing very intense, mineral but powerful and compact wines, rather like Bonnes-Mares in style.
critic reviews
The 2024 Chambolle-Musigny Les Véroilles 1er Cru comprises three barrels this year. Maybe the finest bouquet, the most vigour amongst the Domaine's Premier Crus, this offers raspberry, blackberry and crushed strawberry, rose petals and sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. There is more weight in this cuvée, grippy yet refined, quite tensile towards the finish. A subtle spiciness comes through until you might misconceive the addition of stems when there are none.
