2022, Domaine Lignier-Michelot, CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY, 'Vieilles Vignes'The 2022 Chambolle Musigny Vieilles Vignes had no punch downs during the fermentation and includes 80% whole bunches. It has a forward nose of blackberry, hints of cassis and violet petals. The medium bodied palate offers sapid black and red fruit, a touch of cracked black pepper and quite a structured, Morey like finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle.
