2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Aux Echanges, Domaine Duroché

Like quite a few of the vineyards in Burgundy, part of this vineyard is classified as a village wine and part (the slightly inclined part where the soil is finer) is classified as a 1er Cru. Pierre farms the vineyard himself, although he doesn’t own it (hence the negoce label). A little known 1er Cru of less than a hectare (the village part is about double the size), this version has been fashioned into a very pretty example where the emphasis is on aromatic intensity rather than structured power. Pretty and lithe with good Chambolle character. Drink from 2029. Very limited.
