Ripe, fresh and decidedly floral-suffused aromas are comprised by notes of plum, black raspberry and spice. The succulent, rich and attractively textured medium weight flavors exude evident minerality on the youthfully austere, dusty and noticeably more structured finale. This could use better depth so a few years of keeping should help.
From half a hectare of Drazey (below Sentiers) and a hectare of Gamaires (that's lower down the slope), Lignier's 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes offers up aromas of dark berries, orange zest and warm spices. Medium-bodied, lively and concentrated, it's bright and pure, with a seamless profile. Amounting to some 35 barrels, this is one of the domaine's flagship bottlings.
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. Fine purity of fruit here.
