In the heart of Chambolle-Musigny, the Premier Cru "Aux Beaux Bruns" 2022 from Domaine Faiveley embodies a pure vision of Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir, where fine texture and aromatic intensity answer each other in harmony. This cuvée is aimed at lovers of refined wines seeking a graceful palate sensation, delicate structure and perfectly sustained depth. It satisfies those wanting a characterful red without heaviness, able to marry precise fruit, mineral tension and harmonious length. The terroir’s uniqueness, meticulous grape selection and exacting élevage produce a wine that reveals itself in layers, offering in turn fruit charm, noble oak and the signature of chalk. The 2022 is already accessible through its silkiness while promising superb cellar development. A haute-couture wine designed for the table, conversation and attentive enjoyment.

Assemblage et vinification

Made from Pinot Noir, 100%, this Premier Cru comes from the "Aux Beaux Bruns" climat, a limestone-clay terroir rich in limestone, with a southeast exposure favourable to ripeness and aromatic brilliance. Hand-harvested grapes preserve berry integrity, then fermentation takes place in open wooden vats to encourage delicate extraction that respects the fruit. The élevage, conducted with precision, lasts 16 months in French oak barrels, with 30 to 50% new oak depending on the lots, to bring structure and complexity without ever overpowering the fruit. This craftsman’s approach seeks balance between the sap of the 2022 vintage, the terroir’s uprightness and the silky texture prized in Chambolle-Musigny. The result is a clear narrative thread—from fruit to spice, smoke to wet stone—that composes a savoury, precise frame.

Notes de dégustation

• Colour : Bright garnet with violaceous highlights, a well-kept brilliance announcing controlled concentration and a fine, almost velvety texture on the eye.
• Nose : An expressive bouquet of wild strawberry, red cherry and blackberry, lifted by subtle spice, grilled and smoky waves, then a mineral salinity that evokes crushed stone and chalk. Aeration reveals delicate floral nuances and a noble oak, perfectly integrated.
• Palate : A caressing entry, fine polished tannin grain, a vibrant acidity that stretches the wine long, a juicy core of ripe red fruit, a persistent and precise finish carried by a lively mineral thread.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this Premier Cru in large Burgundy-style glasses to open up the aromatic range and highlight its airy texture. A gentle, brief decant will showcase its pure fruit and the finesse of its élevage while preserving the wine’s energy. Avoid strong temperature swings; prefer a measured service temperature to keep harmony between fruit, oak and minerality. This Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Aux Beaux Bruns" 2022 is charming to taste now, especially after a few minutes of opening, and has a cellaring potential of 10 to 15 years, with a peak window broadly from 2024 to 2038 and beyond depending on cellar conditions. The pleasure comes as much from its infused youth as from its future patina, promising increased complexity and even more seamless textures.
