The 2022 Sylvain Cathiard Chambolle-Musigny 'Le Clos de l'Orme' is a stunning example of the power and elegance that can be found in the village of Chambolle-Musigny. Sourced from just 0.427 hectares of vines, predominantly planted in 1935 (85%) with the remainder from 1992 (15%), this wine comes from an exceptional plot situated near the village, just below the renowned Premier Cru Les Charmes. With its limited production and exceptional quality, it embodies the depth and concentration often associated with higher-level wines, yet in the approachable format of a village-level offering.
In the glass, this Chambolle-Musigny presents an attractive plump purple colour, hinting at its rich, dark-fruited character. The nose is intense and fragrant, with an array of vibrant aromas that blend dark fruit, floral notes, and subtle oak spice. The palate is softer in fruit style, showcasing a touch more influence from the oak, which adds complexity without overwhelming the wine's finesse. It’s a voluptuous wine with a luscious mouthfeel, yet its structure remains refined and balanced. The finish is fine and long, with a persistent, lingering note that invites further exploration.
This wine is a rare find at the village level, offering a concentration and depth that are usually reserved for more prestigious crus. Drink from 2026 to 2032 to fully appreciate its evolving complexity and the remarkable balance between fruit, oak, and acidity.
