Chambolle-Musigny AOC

Chambolle-Musigny is Burgundy's most feminine and perfumed village, producing Pinot Noirs of extraordinary floral delicacy from limestone soils with a high proportion of active chalk. Musigny Grand Cru and Les Amoureuses Premier Cru are among Burgundy's most coveted wines. The village's Pinots are characterized by rose petal, red cherry, and sous bois aromatics of haunting elegance — the opposite of Gevrey's power.
