2023 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. The soil is shallow and in 2023 the grapes were fully destemmed which helps to deliver a real sense of purity and elegance. This is a lively, and detailed Chambolle with notes of rosehip, red cherry fruit and a little white pepper on the finish.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras has a fresh and expressive bouquet of black cherries, raspberry and subtle violet scents, gradually revealing just a hint of forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied with a taut opening. Leaner than the 2022 with moderate length, this just requires a little more flesh toward the citric finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle.

An even ruby purple. Here the nose stands up and speaks of the vineyard, with nothing too solar in style. The dark raspberry fruit, with some cherry overtones, fills the palate very nicely with a positive structure of medium tannins and a little acidity provide an interesting rearguard, Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Oct 2024.
