Blend and winemaking

This wine is made from Pinot Noir, the sole grape of the appellation, harvested on the Les Charmes climat, an emblematic 1er Cru of Chambolle-Musigny. The 2022 vintage offers full, delicately juicy fruit, showcased by measured extraction to preserve aromatic brightness, floral finesse and the terroir’s uprightness. Carefully matured by Domaine Faiveley, it gains definition and texture as it evolves, reaching the mouthfeel so characteristic of great Chambolle wines. The approach favors balance, precision and clarity of expression, ensuring a finely chiselled profile capable of graceful evolution while already delivering genuine pleasure.

Tasting notes

• Appearance : Clear and luminous, with an attractive brilliance; the visual texture announces the fine grain and purity of expression found on the palate.
• Nose : Precise aromas of black cherry and raspberry, accented by violet and a subtle thread of spice. Together they form an airy, both generous and noble profile that gains complexity with aeration.
• Palate : A caressing entry, silky matter and harmonious structure. Very fine-grained tannins support pure, vibrant fruit, extended by a long, persistent finish that leaves a floral and spicy trail.

Serving temperature and tips
