Arrayed with an aura of lace and precision, the Chambolle-Musigny 2023 from Domaine A.F. Gros celebrates the singular grace of a great Burgundian village. 100% Pinot Noir, this dry wine stages a palette of delicate red fruits, floral inflections of rose and violet, as well as fine spices that sign an airy, silky and persistent texture. An expressive vintage, 2023 delivers a score where freshness and velvet respond to one another, giving rise to a red for conversation, the table and emotion. At the moment of serving, the texture charms with its silken touch, the tannins are tender and the long finish traces a pure line like an ink stroke on laid paper. This Chambolle-Musigny, through the mastery of Domaine A.F. Gros, stands as a wine of Fine wines, marrying the nobility of the terroir with a contemporary reading of the pleasure of drinking, clear and unpretentious.

Blend and winemaking

Produced exclusively from Pinot Noir of the 2023 harvest, this Chambolle-Musigny is vinified with artisanal care that favours the integrity of the fruit and the expression of the place. The pursuit of gentle extractions preserves the fine grain of the tannins and the floral weave that defines the appellation. The wine is dry, upright, built on balance, and bears the imprint of measured ageing, designed to refine the material without masking aromatic clarity. The philosophy of Domaine A.F. Gros aims for precision of texture, accuracy of aromas and a savoury length, so that each sip reproduces the silky sensation characteristic of Chambolle-Musigny, that style both graceful and vibrant which aficionados recognise at once.

Tasting notes

• Appearance : Clear ruby with translucent highlights, a sober, luminous gleam, announcing a finely chiselled body.

• Palate : Supple entry, silky and filigreed texture, polished tannins, fresh balance, precise length on small red fruits with a persistent floral breath.

Serving temperature and advice

Serve this Chambolle-Musigny in large wine glasses to allow its bouquet to open. A slightly chilled service, without excess, highlights its textural finesse. Opening the bottle in advance can offer added harmony, while a brief decanting serves the wine's delicacy without ever jolting the grace of Pinot Noir.
