Domaine Michèle & Patrice Rion Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 2023 is an elegant Burgundy Pinot Noir from the highly regarded Les Cras vineyard in Chambolle-Musigny, Côte de Nuits.

The Les Cras vineyard is particularly well positioned halfway up the hillside, facing east. Its shallow clay soils contain a significant amount of crushed limestone, contributing to the wine's mineral character, freshness and refined structure. The vines average approximately 35 years of age.

The 2023 vintage expresses the graceful character of Chambolle-Musigny through vibrant red and dark berry fruit, floral nuances and fine tannins. The palate is silky and generous, with impressive fruit concentration balanced by lively acidity and a distinctive stony mineral finish.

A refined and expressive Burgundy, this wine showcases the finesse of Pinot Noir while offering the depth and structure to reward further cellaring.
