The 2023 Chambolle‑Musigny Premier Cru from Drouhin opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry, violet, rose petal, and a touch of forest floor. On the palate it is silky and refined, medium‑bodied with fine, subtle tannins, fresh acidity, and a detailed mineral backbone. Flavors of strawberry, red currant, and gentle spice emerge, balanced by a whisper of earthy underbrush. The finish lingers with floral brightness and minerality, offering both early charm and potential to develop nuance and depth over the next 8‑12 years.
Maison Joseph Drouhin, founded in 1880, is a cornerstone of Burgundy winemaking, stewarding vineyards in Chambolle‑Musigny, Grands Crus, Premier Crus, and village sites with equal care. Their approach stresses low yields, hand‑harvesting, indigenous yeasts, and careful élevage in French oak (partially new) to preserve terroir clarity. In Chambolle‑Musigny, the soils of marl and limestone, the gentle slopes, and east‑facing exposures give fruit that ripens slowly and develops an inner perfume; Drouhin buffers vintage variation with consistency, elegance, and restraint, letting vineyard identity shine above winemaking flash.
