The 2022 Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny is an elegant Chambolle-Musigny from the Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, crafted by the renowned Maison Joseph Drouhin from 100% Pinot Noir. Sourced from several carefully selected parcels within the appellation, the grapes are fully destemmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts in small open vats and matured for 14–16 months in French oak barrels, including 20–25% new oak. The bouquet is beautifully perfumed with aromas of violet, black cherry and wild raspberry, complemented by notes of damp earth, sweet spice and delicate floral nuances, capturing the graceful character for which Chambolle-Musigny is renowned.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and an exceptionally refined texture. Flavours of red cherry, cranberry and ripe raspberry are layered with hints of forest floor, truffle and subtle baking spice, leading to a long, seamless finish. The warm yet balanced 2022 vintage delivers generous fruit concentration while preserving the finesse, elegance and mineral precision that define this celebrated Burgundian village.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for lovers of classic Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir with elegance, perfume and exceptional terroir expression. Pair it with roast duck, herb-crusted lamb, grilled quail or wild mushroom risotto. Enjoy now after a gentle decant, or cellar for 8–12 years to reveal greater savoury complexity, earthy nuance and silky refinement.
