Blend and vinification

Made exclusively from Pinot Noir grown in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, this Chambolle-Musigny AOC reflects Domaine Joseph Drouhin’s demanding philosophy. Grape selection focuses on balance, purity and straightness of fruit to accurately express the floral dimension and delicate texture typical of this cru. The 2023 vintage, noted for its controlled warmth, produced berries of fine maturity, resulting in a wine with clear fruit and fine tannins. Careful élevage carried through to bottling accompanies the material without masking it, preserving a clear, readable and deeply Burgundian profile.

Tasting notes

• Colour : Bright, luminous red with a supported core and garnet highlights that indicate good concentration.
• Nose : A complex bouquet of violet, black cherry and damp earth, with hints of truffle and game as it develops. The 2023 signs a generous expression of ripe red and black fruits with immediate charm.
• Palate : A caressing attack, filigree tannins and a silky texture. Lovely tension stretches the wine into a persistent finish, marked by cherry and a touch of candied fruit.
