Among Chambolle’s most renowned climats, the Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru « Les Noirots » 2022 from Domaine Roblot Marchand & Fils offers a delicate, well-bred interpretation of Pinot Noir. Rooted in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, on a former holding of the Cîteaux Abbey, this refined wine showcases the floral elegance that has made the village famous. The 2022 vintage, marked by a luminous balance, reveals a silky mouthfeel, finely chiseled fruit and a restrained depth. A graceful, long-lived red, it will appeal to those seeking a satin texture, clear aromatics and precise palate presence. Served at the right temperature, it becomes the centerpiece of a refined dinner, where each dish finds its counterpart in the lace-like tannins and the soul of its terroir.

Blend and winemaking

This Premier Cru is a pure Pinot Noir, crafted according to Burgundian know-how that respects the identity of the Les Noirots climat. The harvest, rigorously selected, focuses on optimal fruit ripeness and berry integrity. Vinification aims for precision, terroir transparency and textural finesse, followed by careful ageing in the cellar, in the traditional spirit of the region. Without seeking over-extraction, the approach favours the smoothness of the tannin grain, respect for balance and highlighting the signature traits of Chambolle—floral notes, delicate spices and a refined length. The assemblage showcases the purity of the grape and the nobility of the soil, for an expression both enticing and composed, ready to evolve gracefully.

Tasting notes

• Colour : Bright and deep, with an elegant clarity that announces finely chiseled material. The highlights underline the youth of the vintage and the promise of a delicate grand Burgundy.
• Nose : Precise and nuanced, it opens on a bouquet of vivid red fruits, violet and peony, supported by fine touches of sweet spice, a hint of noble undergrowth and a discreet minerality. Complexity intensifies with aeration without ever losing its great distinction.
• Palate : A caressing attack, mid-palate woven with fine, satin-grained tannins, structuring freshness and a persistent finish. The balance between juicy fruit, mineral thread and muted spices composes a finish at once vibrant and serene—the signature of a haute couture Premier Cru.

Serving temperature and advice

Serve this Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru between 15 and 16°C in large Burgundy glasses to showcase the finesse of its bouquet and the silkiness of its texture. A 30-minute aeration can enhance the floral dimension and soften the youthful tannic contours. Store the bottle away from light, at a stable temperature, lying down to preserve cork integrity. This refined wine is enjoyable now for its accessible charm and will gain complexity over the years if allowed to rest in ideal cellar conditions.

Food pairings

• Appetisers : golden gougères, ham with parsley, delicate poultry rillettes.
• Starters : knife-cut veal tartare, aged beef carpaccio, roasted root vegetables with herbs.
• Main courses : roast Bresse chicken, wild mushroom risotto, braised veal fillet, glazed duckling with mild spices.
• Cheeses : aged Brillat-Savarin, fruity Comté, mountain tomme, soft-ripened cémont.
