Appellations
Village · Côte de Nuits
Chambolle-Musigny
red · 150
The most aromatic commune on the Côte de Nuits, and the most reliably charming village wine.
Under the vines
Among the palest and stoniest on the Côte, with a low clay fraction.
In the glass
Aroma and fine tannin rather than mass: the lace to Gevrey's iron.
Why it sits here
Its village bottling from a good grower is one of the standard entry points to serious Burgundy.
Commonly misread
That delicacy means it will not age. Good Chambolle village wine repays eight years.
