Tasting notes
50% whole bunch, 15–20% new oak. Cask sample. Mid crimson. Gorgeously seductive dark-red fruit with a lively peppery lift. Elegant rather than full-bodied, a revealer of the terroir. Some sense of the oak here but not out of place thanks to the pure, dark-red fruit. Peony fragrance on the finish. Persistent. (JH)

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.
