Premier cru
Chambolle-Musigny
2021
Formerly known as 'Les Charmes des Fuées,' this wine was produced from a blend of the 'Les Charmes' and 'Les Fuées' cuvées due to the low yields in certain years.
This unique blend is elaborated exclusively from two 1er Cru plots in Chambolle-Musigny, "Les Charmes" and "Les Fuées". Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru "Les Fuées", over 80 years old, is located opposite the "Bonnes Mares" Grand Cru appellation, in a sandier sector than the "Charmes" parcel. It combines a dense texture with a racy suppleness that brings a fine balance to this cuvée. Fifty-year-old Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru "Les Charmes" is by very stony soil, draped in age-old silts. The limestone scree adds a singular touch, a subtle minerality that enriches its complexity. The delicately laid silts add their sparkle to the mosaic of aromas emanating from the wines produced by this cuvée.

While the 2021 growing season concludes with a sunny summer, its beginning was marked by two devastating frosts that deeply affected the vines and threatened the upcoming harvest. That year, Burgundy experienced a relatively mild winter. In spring, after significant frosts in early April, the return of fine weather provided ideal conditions for flowering. A few weeks later, early summer was characterized by heavy rains and persistent humidity. By August, however, dry and radiant weather persisted for three consecutive weeks, promoting optimal fruit ripening. By late September, the grapes reached perfect ripeness, prompting the harvest to begin on September 23rd. The production from this capricious vintage is exclusive. Evocative, with finesse and elegance, the wines reveal exceptional freshness and present beautiful volume on the palate.

Spring 2019 was marked by highly variable weather, alternating between fine conditions and episodes of low temperatures. The cool weather during flowering led to reduced yields due to run-off. However, after a scorching June and a hot, dry summer, the grapes ripened beautifully and were in exceptional condition, allowing the harvest to begin under favourable weather on September 17th. Produced in limited quantities, with the average yield across all our appellations in 2019 falling below 20 hl/hectare, this vintage delivered wines of exceptional quality. Despite the heat and dryness, the wines are rich, concentrated, and display excellent digestibility, freshness, length, and persistence. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated, showcasing remarkable balance, with impressive tension and minerality.
Tasting notes :
The aroma features blue Pinot fruit, enhanced by hints of spice and floral elements, notably violet and rose petal. The palate reveals mid-weight flavours that are vibrant and intense, presenting a silky texture that balances tension and precision without becoming too dense. The finish offers notable persistence and balance, with a refined mouthfeel indicating strong aging potential.
