Mark Haisma's Chambolle-Musigny 2023 represents the flip side of the Gevrey coin: if the former is strength, here we are in the realm of supreme elegance and femininity. In this 2023 vintage, Haisma has managed to capture the almost ethereal delicacy that makes Chambolle one of the most beloved appellations of the Côte de Nuits.
Mark Haisma Chambolle-Musigny 2023: The Dance of Elegance
Mark Haisma's Chambolle-Musigny 2023 is a hymn to refinement. This Pinot Noir originates from Chambolle's fine, calcareous soils, capable of imparting a unique lightness and aromatic fragrance to the wine. Mark Haisma interprets this terroir with extraordinary sensitivity, seeking to preserve the silky texture and floral perfume that are the hallmark of the village. The 2023 vintage adds a luminosity of fruit that makes this wine seductive even in its early years.
Sensory Profile In the glass, it displays a pale and transparent ruby color, typical of the grape's nobility. On the nose, it's a delicate bouquet of rose petals, violet, and small tart red fruits like raspberry and wild strawberry. With aeration, subtle chalky notes and a hint of white pepper emerge. In the mouth, it is pure silk: the tannins are almost imperceptible, enveloped by a vibrant and juicy texture. The freshness guides the sip towards a floral and extraordinarily clean finish.
Philosophy and Winemaking As with all his cuvées, Mark Haisma adopts an artisanal and non-interventionist approach. The Chambolle grapes are vinified with extreme delicacy, prioritizing infusion over mechanical extraction to avoid hardening the tannic structure. Aging in French oak barriques is designed to accompany the wine without ever overpowering it, preserving the purity of the fruit and the typical calcareous minerality of the soil.
Food Pairings This is a wine that demands delicate and refined dishes. Excellent with rosy duck breast, roasted quail, or veal fillet with berries. It also lends itself beautifully to less conventional pairings such as seared tuna steak or dishes based on noble mushrooms. Great with soft, not overly pungent cheeses.
