A gem of the Côte de Nuits, nestled between Vougeot and Morey-Saint-Denis, the 2019 red Chambolle-Musigny captures the essence of its location perfectly. The clay content in the soils, lower than in other villages, bestows a more delicate profile that contributes to its legendary status. Its aromas of juicy black cherry, rose, and violet are set against a backdrop of great sophistication, where the tannins never overpower.
