Good to Know: The striking intensity and meticulous sophistication of Chambolle-Musigny wines are eloquently conveyed at first sight, as demonstrated by their vigorous ruby hue crowned with dazzling, radiant reflections. Their signature aroma is composed of violet nuances and undertones of little red fruits.
Regarded as rich, fragrant, and multifaceted, Chambolle-Musigny indulges the palate with a silken, lace-like texture. Despite its tender delicacy, it maintains a robust and enduring structure, with its tannins providing a soothingly gentle accompaniment.
The subtle fibres of a Bresse capon harmonize flawlessly with the plush, yet concentrated, tannins of Chambolle-Musigny, especially the Premier Cru varieties.
The name 'Chambolle' is derived from 'Campus Ebolliens,' also known as 'Champ Bouillant.' This title reflects the temperament of the river that gustily traverses through the town, in the aftermath of tempestuous weather conditions.
