2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras, Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion

2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras, Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion

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. 40-50% whole-bunch gives it a vibrant, sweet-fruit energy, balancing the considerable concentration. Expertly judged.

Tasting notes

A deep concentrated purple. The bouquet is less immediate than the Chambolle Vieilles Vignes, but with a more guarded intensity. Now some classic violet aromas emerge, while the whole bunch also gives an extra lift, adding that little tingle at the back. This is a very beautiful Chambolle, with exquisite persistence. Drink from 2029-2037. Tasted: October 2023.
