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.
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.
