Chambolle Musigny, 1er Cru, 2021
A fine 1er Cru blend that comes from five parcels: Les Combottes, Les Borniques, Les Haut Doix, Les Feusselottes, and Les Fuees. Taking a little coaxing on the nose, it's the palate that seduces here; such a lovely supple texture, classy length all built around charm and flowing fruit that's held in place by tension and a sense of animation. Both highly alluring and stimulating. A great success.
critic reviews
The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru has a more tertiary nose with red fruit mixed with gravel and sous-bois scents, quite open-knit and less primal than its peers. This has impressive delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with supple lace-like tannins, beautifully balanced and svelte in texture with gentle grip. Composed and quite effortless on the finish, this is a gifted Chambolle that exceeds expectations. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
