WINE DESCRIPTION

Produced in the renowned commune of Chambolle-Musigny, the Musigny vineyard is perched on a chalky terrace overlooking Clos Vougeot, nestled between the Chambolle and Orveaux valleys. Its history dates back to Gallo-Roman times, pioneered by a landowner named Mucius. The vineyard gained its esteemed status during the early Middle Ages, thanks to the dedication of monks. The site features a gentle east-facing incline with brown, chalky soil, scattered with pebbles and minimal clay. This exceptional terroir contributes to the elegance and finesse for which Musigny wines are celebrated, offering a pure expression of Pinot Noir with remarkable complexity and balance.
