Tasting notes

Our Chambolle-Musigny 2016 shows a deep ruby red colour with garnet lights. This wine offers notes of morello cherry, licorice and coffee. In mouth, long and graceful, this wine reminds aromas of cherry and licorice. This Chambolle-Musigny harmonizes admirably silky tannins and lovely freshness on the finish.

Food pairing

Slow- roasted lamb - capon - cheese (Reblochon, Brillat-Savarin)

Description

The 180 hectares of vines in the tiny village of Chambolle-Musigny are a soft interlude amongst the great vineyards of the Cote de Nuits, a moment of finesse before the masculin wines from Vougeot, Morey-Saint-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin. Chambolle-Musigny is one of the smallest Cote d'Or appellations and produces mostly red wines. The limestone soil is renowned for producing wines that are delicately scented and very elegant.
