2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Combottes, Ghislaine Barthod

2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Combottes, Ghislaine Barthod

This vineyard lies right in the middle of the village in a small dip, making it a cool spot, giving it an edge in warmer years. In 2022, she finds it the most Chambolle of the cellar. The vines are now 40 years old, and are really hitting their stride. It has superb floral intensity, and a delicate restraint. Only one and a half barrels made, even in the plentiful 2022 vintage.

Tasting notes

Mid crimson purple, a lovely floral and still rather fine bouquet, very appetising. Sweetly succulent on the palate with a little lick of vanilla, then a fine full strawberry-raspberry fruit to finish. Showing very well for a less famous village. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted: November 2023.

The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Aux Combottes 1er Cru comes from the Domaine's youngest vines…although they are still 55 years old! It has a well-defined bouquet with dark berries and bay leaves gradually unfurling in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with quite "thick" tannins that give this Chambolle weight and presence, though it does not have the finesse of, say, Les Fuées. There’s a bit more sinew here.
