2020 Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Decelle & Fils

This wine is made from vines which are approximately 45 years old, with roots now going down deeply down into the limestone. They grow on the northerly-tilted slope between the village and Le Musigny. In a sunny, extra-dry year like 2020, the grapes had no problem reaching ripe maturity. The wine has been ageing in 40% new barrels. Colour is a very deep, rich purple, aromas are ripe, fresh and open. Palate shows dense fruitiness, with the gentlest of tannins, wrap-around silky texture, and lovely length (for drinking 2024-2030+).
