Tasting notes
The Domaine Bruno Clair Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 'Les Charmes' Red 2023 is a silky, medium-bodied Pinot Noir offering sweet raspberries, rose petals, orange zest, and white pepper, with melting tannins, a vibrant acid structure, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
From Domaine Bruno Clair, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France, 100% Pinot Noir with 30-50% whole-bunch vinification, aged around 20 months in oak barrels (roughly 30% new).
Luminous, transparent medium ruby-red in appearance. The aroma shows red cherries, fresh raspberries, strawberries, lifted rose petals, orange zest, and exotic spices with subtle undergrowth hints. The palate is sensual and enveloping, with lively fruit sweetness balanced by tensile, fine-grained acidity and melting, silky tannins. The finish is long and perfumed, subtly marked by white pepper and clean minerality.
