Domaine Francois Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 2023

Domaine François Bertheau’s 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru brings together fruit from three separate parcels, offering a more substantial expression of the appellation than the domaine’s Chambolle-Musigny village wine. Its combination of generous red-fruit charm and underlying structure makes it an appealing introduction to the Premier Cru level of this celebrated Côte de Nuits village.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a fragrant bouquet of sweet red berries, cassis and peony, with a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with a juicy core of fruit and a meatier, more structured feel than the domaine’s Chambolle-Musigny AOC. The finish is notably persistent. No specific drinking window is provided. Its fruit and structure suggest it can be enjoyed young or given time in the cellar to develop further.

Production
The wine is assembled from grapes grown across three parcels. At the domaine, the grapes are destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks over two to three weeks, followed by élevage with new oak rarely exceeding 10%. Details of the individual parcels’ terroir and harvesting methods are not available.

Food & Serving
Try it with roast duck, game birds, mushroom dishes or simply prepared beef, where its red-fruit character and structure can complement the savoury flavours. Serve lightly cool, around 15–16°C. A short decant can help open the wine, particularly if serving it young.
