Grape variety
Pinot Noir
Origin
Located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, around the
village of Chambolle-Musigny, the appellation has many
Premiers Crus (including the famous "Les Amoureuses")
and three Grands Crus: Musigny, Bonnes-Mares and
Clos de Vougeot.
Soil
The slope is close to the bedrock with shallow soil. The
many cracks in the hard limestone allow roots to seek
their happiness in the sub-soil. Rocks and gravel provide
good drainage at the bottom of the valley.
Vinification
Traditional vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel
vats. Pre-fermentation with temperature controlled. Cold
maceration during 10 days. Long fermentation during
which pigeages and pumping over are performed.
Wine is aged in oak barrels for 10 months. 30% new oak.
sensory characteristic
Colour
Ruby red with amber hues.
Nose
Elegance and finesse let no doubt: it is a Chambolle, with
its notes of violet and peony, small red fruits and black
pepper.
Palate
The tannins are fine and delicately support the finish.
Recommendations
Great with meats with relatively strong flavors such as
roast beef, braised or in sauce, leg of lamb, game and
grilled pork. Soft cheese : Vacherin, Brie de Meaux,
Cîteaux...
