91/93

Planted in 1973 and looking good. Gilbert now picks this plot rather later. One third whole bunch. Mid crimson purple. The oak is a little apparent, but the sample was taken from a new barrel. The village wines are 50/50 for the most part. Clearly the wine has considerable intensity without losing its Chambolle character.

91/93

The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Clos le Village comes from 0.5 hectares of vine on limestone soils. With raspberry and wild strawberry on the nose, touches of white flower and undergrowth, this is well-defined and gains intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and sapid, with fine grip. Very lively in the mouth with fine weight on the finish, given a peppery touch by the 30% whole bunches. Very fine.
