2022 Domaine Evenstad Chambolle-Musigny

The 2022 Domaine Evenstad Chambolle-Musigny is a refined expression of one of Burgundy’s most coveted villages, showcasing the hallmark perfume, elegance, and silky texture that Chambolle is famous for. Crafted in limited quantities, this cuvée is all about purity of Pinot Noir fruit, lifted aromatics, and finely etched structure. From a generous yet well-balanced vintage, it offers immediate charm while promising graceful evolution in the cellar.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 Domaine Evenstad Chambolle-Musigny shows a luminous medium ruby hue with subtle garnet reflections at the rim. The nose is intensely aromatic yet delicate, opening with wild strawberries, raspberries, and red cherries, followed by layers of rose petals, violets, sweet spice, and a hint of forest floor and fine oak. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and wonderfully silky, with ultra-fine tannins framing a core of pure red fruit—think crushed raspberry, cranberry, and ripe morello cherry. Subtle notes of spice, black tea, and mineral undertones from the limestone-rich soils add complexity and length. The acidity is precise and lively, lending freshness and tension to the wine’s elegant profile. Enjoyable in its youth for its vibrancy and aromatics, it has the structure and balance to age gracefully for 8–12 years, developing more savory, truffle, and sous-bois nuances over time.

Production
Domaine Evenstad’s Chambolle-Musigny is sourced from meticulously farmed vineyards rooted in the village’s classic limestone and clay soils, which contribute to the wine’s finesse and floral lift. Vines are tended with a high level of care, with careful canopy management and predominantly hand work in the rows to preserve fruit quality. Harvesting is done by hand at optimal ripeness, with rigorous selection both in the vineyard and at the winery. The grapes are gently destemmed (with a judicious proportion of whole clusters retained depending on the vintage) before a cool maceration and a traditional fermentation in open vats. Gentle punch-downs and pump-overs extract color and fine tannins without excessive force. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, for added texture and aromatic complexity, before bottling with minimal intervention to preserve terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This Chambolle-Musigny is a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with roast chicken, duck breast with cherries, veal in light jus, or pork tenderloin with herb-infused sauces. It also complements mushroom-based dishes, truffle risotto, and mildly gamey meats such as guinea fowl or rabbit. For cheese, opt for softer, creamier styles like Brie, Reblochon, or a mild washed-rind cheese that won’t overpower its delicacy. Serve at 14–16°C (57–61°F) to highlight the wine’s perfume and freshness. Decanting for 30–45 minutes in its youth can help the aromatics fully bloom; older bottles should be handled gently and decanted only briefly to separate from any sediment.
