2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Combottes, Ghislaine Barthod

Cellar Circle Exclusive

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. The vines are now 40 years old, and are really hitting their stride. This has beautiful focus and perfume with aromas of cherry blossom and wild strawberry fruit. There is no excess here, only charm. The finish has purity and nuance that expands with time.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Aux Combottes 1er Cru has a lively and floral bouquet, with crushed rose petal and light orange blossom scents tincturing the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins. It has lovely balance and poise, with more tension than the Chatelots on the finish. This will be difficult to resist in its youth.

(90—92)/100

A bright even mid crimson. This also has the right balance in terms of picking time. A well-rounded style of Chambolle, with a tannin or two helping to build the structure. For a less famous terroir this is showing very well. Clement thinks their Aux Combottes is growing in quality. Drink from 2030-2035. Tasted Nov 2024.
