Domaine Francois Bertheau Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru 2023

Domaine François Bertheau’s Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 2023 is a beautifully poised Burgundy that captures the elegance and perfume of this famed village, while adding extra depth from fruit drawn from three distinct parcels. It is a wine built on finesse, precision, and subtle power, showing why Chambolle-Musigny remains one of the Côte de Nuits’ most admired appellations.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Pinot Noir shows the kind of luminous, refined colour you would expect from top Chambolle-Musigny. The nose opens with sweet red berries, cassis, peonies, and a touch of dark chocolate, giving it both brightness and a sense of depth. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with more flesh and underlying structure than the village wine, but still unmistakably graceful. A generous core of juicy fruit carries through to a long finish, and while it is already very appealing, it has the balance and structure to age well over the coming years.

Production
This 1er Cru is assembled from fruit harvested from three separate parcels in Chambolle-Musigny, bringing together nuance and complexity from different site expressions. At Domaine François Bertheau, the grapes are fully destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel for two to three weeks, preserving purity of fruit and aromatic precision. The wine then matures in élevage with very little new oak, typically no more than 10%, allowing the character of the fruit and terroir to remain at the centre.

Food & Serving
This is a classic Burgundy to enjoy with refined dishes such as roast duck, guinea fowl, veal, mushroom risotto, or game birds, as well as truffled poultry or soft-rind cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young to help the aromatics open up.
