Red dry
Faiveley Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes 2022 is a premium Pinot Noir wine from one of the most sought-after Premier Cru estates in Burgundy. Elegance, finesse and a refined structure characterize this wine, which comes from the famous Les Charmes estate in the Chambolle-Musigny appellation.
Aroma: subtle nuances of flowers (violet, rose), red berries (cherry, raspberry), soft oak and spices. Taste: soft and refined, silky texture, bright but quite soft acidity, delicate tannins. Aftertaste: long-lasting, mineral and elegantly floral, this is characteristic only of the Chambolle-Musigny appellation.
The grapes are harvested by hand, carefully selecting only healthy and ripe berries. Fermentation takes place for 19 days, using both new and second-hand French oak barrels, to balance fruitiness and structure. The wine is blended daily to extract deeper color, more intense tannins and aromas from the grape skins. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, of which 40-50% are new.
Serve at 14-16 °C. The wine goes well with duck, quail or pheasant with fruit sauces, rabbit or veal with herbs, richer cheeses (Brillat-Savarin, Reblochon, Comté), truffle or mushroom-based dishes.
Wafting from the glass with pretty aromas of raspberries, rose petals, peonies and spices, Faiveley's 2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes is medium to full-bodied, supple and suave, with a cool and concentrated core of fruit, melting tannins and a long, mineral finish. It's especially strong this year.
