2021 Domaine Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny

This is a small vineyard, located below Bonnes-Mares. It has a slight slope and is oriented towards the east. The name of the village "Chambolle" probably comes from the Celtic "cambola" (meaning fertile land near a stream, good quality soil). Joseph Drouhin owns several plots in this appellation, which were already known for their vineyards in Gallo-Roman times and were worked by monks in the Middle Ages. Grapes harvested by hand in open crates. If necessary, careful sorting. Whole harvest from 20 to 50% depending on the vintage. In accordance with the terroir and the profile of the vintage, we do 2 to 3 weeks of fermentation and maceration in small open vats, marked by the punching of the cap and pumping over. The yeasts are indigenous (natural). Pressing in a vertical press. Separation of the ends of the presses based on tasting. Maturation in oak barrels, including 25% new barrels. Maturation lasts between 14 and 18 months. With mainly Les Baudes fruit, the 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a light and airy bouquet that feels well defined. The 40% new oak is well integrated. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins, tight and fresh with an elegant and pure finish. Delicious, although only 560 bottles were produced
