2022, Domaine Bruno Clair, CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY, 1er Cru, 'Les Charmes'The first sample was from a 2018 barrel which marked the wine a little too much. Mid purple. Riper on the nose and has taken the oak a bit more. Try another one. Much better. A sublime weight of perfectly ripe fruit whereas the other seemed over ripe. Excellent. **** 94 96 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. Ripe aromas include those of essence of black cherry, violet and an array of spice elements. The slightly bigger bodied flavours are also quite stony

Aged in 500-litre barrels with 2% new oak for just over half of the crop

A brilliant wine with potential to deliver such excellent drinking pleasure
