Note: from Les Gamaires. A deft but not imperceptible application of wood sets off more elegant and more layered aromas of red cherry, raspberry and a violet top note. The super-sleek, refined and punchy flavors possess an almost delicate mouthfeel that carries over to the markedly stony and youthfully austere finale. This could use better depth so a few years of cellaring should be helpful.

The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Village comes from two adjacent parcels. It has a well-defined, quite floral bouquet with admirable purity of fruit. The oak is neatly enmeshed. The palate is medium-bodied, taut and fresh, with slightly powdery tannins and a pleasing sapidity shaping the finish. Neat 'n tidy! (NM)
