2022 Domaine Castagnier Chambolle-Musigny 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Plump and ripe red fruit, but with bright, minerally textures that make it so classic and easy to enjoy. Very tasty.

Walkaround tasting with the producers. Spiced red fruit with ripe notes with charming lean hints, too. Not powerful per se, but so elegant with very good length and finesse. 91-92 points, 2028-.

Walkaround tasting with the producers. Big, brawny and bold black and red fruits with savory spice, already complex and alluring with graceful structure. Very good+ length, great 93-96 point potential.
