Boursot Chambolle-Musigny 22

From their historic domaine in the center of Chambolle-Musigny, the Boursot brothers continue to produce delicious red Burgundies full of character and richness. As they hone their cellar techniques the wines have gained precision and finesse, but they retain the rugged, charming spirit that first brought us to this domaine. Romaric told us their 2022 growing season was just about perfect, with the wines exhibiting classical charm of old-school Burgundy but the intense concentration of modern sunny vintages.

Their Chambolle village is a blend of three plots, and a combination of silky, lacey detail from the terroir and a deep intensity from the vintage. The nose is dark and brooding with notes of blackberry and fig; the mouth is intense and well structured with silky tannins surrounding a sleek, chiseled core. This will benefit from a few years in the cellar, and given the intensity we wouldn’t be surprised to see it go a decade with ease.
