Tasting notes
The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru has an open-knit bouquet with brambly red fruit, crushed stone and rose petals. Delicate at first, there is plenty of fruit and more terroir expression than the Les Cras from Ghislaine-Barthod. The palate is very well balanced and graceful with slightly chalky tannins. Impressive tension and mineralité in this Chambolle with insistent grip on the finish. This is finely crafted and should age with style. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras is a young classic in the making, unfurling in the glass with scents of wild blueberries, raspberries, rose petals, licorice and violets, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and textural palate that's deep, mineral and resonant, concluding with a mouthwateringly saline finish. Warmer years in this site have tended to be pretty big-boned wines in recent years, but the 2021 is just impeccably balanced.
