TASTING NOTE
Colour
Clean and bright Ruby red with violet highlights. Intensity of the medium-low layer. Very nice to look at.
AROMA:
Good complexity and great opening of aromas. Red and black fruit, such as cherry, raspberry, currant. And with balsamic touches, where we find subtle touches of pepper, juniper and a background of herbs.
A Pinot Noir worthy of capitals of Burgundy.
TASTE:
Exquisite entrance, the Pinot Noir in its maximum essence. Smooth and well-detailed flavors of medium body that present a minerality on the palate more than evident and that at the end of the tour make you conclude the experience with some tannins incredibly even perfectly well balanced.
MATCHING
Its versatility makes it ideal to accompany dishes of certain elaboration such as, for example, hunting dishes, meals with mushroom base sauces, elaborate meat dishes.
WHO CAN CONTRACT
Chambolle-Musigny is one of the three main towns that form the "hard core" of the Côte de Nuits, the true black heart of Burgundy, together with Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée. And if the wines of Gevrey stand out for their structure and capacity of aging and those of Vosne for their exoticism, those of Chambolle have elegance as a mark, something like the one that does not go more in the wine area that is more related to elegance, as is the de facto Burgundy.
As in the cases of Chassagne or Puligny, the one of Gevrey or the one of Vosne, the name of the original town was completed with that of its most famous vineyard, in this case Musigny. And evidently what gives this small village world fame are the 180 hectares of vineyards that surround it, with soils especially rich in limestone and poor in clay, which is somehow key to granting that special character of smoothness to his wines. Here the absolute queen is the Pinot Noir, although we found a small plot of Chardonnay inside Le Musigny, which Conde de Vogue bottles as white Burgundy.
Although the origins of the Domaine go back to the s. XVIII, it acquires its current name in the last century and became popular in the early 1930s when Jean Jacques Confuron began selling his wines directly (something very unusual at the time). But it is at the end of the 80s, when Sophie Confuron and her husband, Alain Meunier, take over the winery, when it reaches its current international prestige. Domaine Jean Jacques Confuron is currently one of the rising stars of Burgundy, and has eight hectares that extend over 12 different denominations of the Côte de Nuits, among which are the prestigious Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru.
The star variety of the Burgundy, the Pinot Noir, is the one with which most of its production is made.
The applied work in viticulture is organic and avoids chemical treatments to preserve the maximum natural expression of the vineyard. Since 2003, in addition, in some of the land has even returned to the plow with horses to prevent soil compaction and promote ventilation and microbiological life. They use manual harvest, with selection of the vines and cold maceration.
We recommend the optimal service temperature between 15º - 17º. We recommend a little decanting before the service.
