Often described as the most “feminine” wine of the Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny is known for its delicacy, subtlety, and perfect balance.

  Mainly made from the Pinot Noir grape, Chambolle-Musigny reveals delicate aromas of red fruits, flowers, and forest floor, with more complex notes of truffle and minerality as it ages. Its silky texture and elegant approach make it a must-have for wine lovers in search of refinement.
