There can’t be many village parcels with a better position than this. Indeed, the bottom half of the vineyard is premier cru. The top half runs above Les Fuées and meets with Bonnes-Mares at its northern edge. This wine has so much drive and precision, and a lovely pink peppercorn lift on the nose. 50% whole bunch is expertly judged. The wine shows absolutely no stress at all from the heat of the year. This is classical Pinot Noir at its best.
The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras, which contains 50% whole cluster, has quite a tertiary, spicy nose, a touch of meat juice filtering through the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly austere tannins that render this quite Morey-like in style, but still fresh and very focused on the finish. Excellent.
