Benjamin Leroux Chambolle Musigny 2023

Albeit with a barrel of 1er Cru included, 2023 is mostly the same blend of Les Athets and Les Chardannes as the 2022. These two sites sit at the base of the Chambolle hill on clay, silt and limestone soils. Leroux has once again sculpted an outstanding rendition of the village using roughly 30% bunches and 20% new oak. It’s pretty, perfumed, fine and juicy—in other words, it’s classic Chambolle! Importer’s notes.

“Mid purple, needs a little freshening. Plenty of volume in the mouth with a good balance of tannins, but not one of the more structured wines. An airy Chambolle. Drink from 2029-2033. Tasted Oct 2024.” 89-91 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy.
