2022 Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine de la Vougeraie, Burgundy

Description

A brilliant patchwork of vineyards makes this cuvée: Baudes and Gruenchers are Premier Cru, with Véroilles, Fremières, Condamennes, Argillières and Chardannes from village land, making just under one hectare in all. It is not especially immediate on the nose, with a hint of darker fruit, but still with a good lift of black cherry acidity. The palate has plenty of dimension and this wine finishes with some interesting extra weight.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
