Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées 2022

The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuées 1er Cru has a slightly backward nose that takes its time to bind together. Eventually, it coalesces with red cherry fruit, black olive compote, brine and oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied and very concentrated with gentle grip, but that belies the depth and power of this Les Fuées. It fans out with zeal on the finish with a sapid aftertaste. Excellent, but a Chambolle for hardcore lovers of the appellation.
