2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Beaux Bruns, Ghislaine Barthod

2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Beaux Bruns, Ghislaine Barthod

Cellar Circle Exclusive

This is one of Ghislaine’s greatest cuvées. Its slightly deeper soil than other Chambolle Premiers Crus means the vines often ripen early here, and it’s always the first harvested. Ghislaine describes it as a loyal friend - it’s always there with open arms, from youth right through to old age. There is a sense of muscularity to the tannins but also a seamlessness and charm wrapped up in flavours ripe morello cherry and crushed violets with a light accent of five spice. Really impressive in 2023.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Aux Beaux Bruns 1er Cru has a deeper, richer, more tertiary nose than the preceding Aux Combottes. Touches of brown spice emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, good structure and complexity. This is a little sauvage and savory toward the lingering finish. It's not quite up there with the superlative 2022, but it will give 15 to 20 years of drinking pleasure.

(92—94)/100

Medium ruby in colour. The bouquet suggests a wine of more tension. Fresh raspberry, fine energy, still medium bodied, the oak needs to be fully digested but there is more fruit intensity at the back, and a fine precise finish. Picked at the right time. Drink from 2030-2035. Tasted Nov 2024.
