Regular price $380.98
89 - 91 Wine Advocate - The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Bussières is pure and seamless, bursting with aromas of red berries, cherries, raw cocoa and spices. Medium to full-bodied, supple and layered, with a cool core of fruit framed by sweet structuring tannins Laurent Lignier picked his domaine holdings and négociant purchases, the latter amounting to the equivalent of some 3.5 hectares of vines, over the first dozen days of September, opting to retain around one-third whole bunches across the whole range. As readers will remember, winemaking is pretty classical at this address, with a short cold maceration, two to three weeks of maceration with one pigéage and one rémontage per day and maturation in barrels, some third of which are new—if possible, without racking—for fully 22 months in the domaine's cold cellars.
88-90 Vinous - The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Bussières 1er Cru comes from a half-hectare of vines and includes 30% stems. It has a distinctly rocky bouquet, a touch of autumn leaves filtering through the leafy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly chalky entry. Very Iinear in style, missing a bit of depth and grip towards the slightly Morey-like finish.
