Chambolle Musigny Premier Cru Les Fuées Red 2018

Chambolle-Musigny "Les Fuées" 1er crus - 2018

PhilosophyChambolle-Musigny wines are very rare; the Premier Crus are even more so. We are particularly proud and happy to be able to offer this exclusive cuvée that hails from this little-known though superior Premier Cru vineyard.
TerroirOur cuvée is sourced from a plot located on the outskirts of the village of Chambolle-Musigny, along the famed Route des Grands Crus and adjacent to the Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru. The grapes for this cuvée grow on vines planted halfway up the slope; overlying the same rocky subsoil as is found in Bonnes-Mares. These moderately deep soils allow the wine to express both purity and elegance.
Vinification and ageingVinification was carried out very traditionally with all of the grapes destemmed. Punch-down was performed sparingly so as to preserve all of the finesse this terroir has to offer. Cuvaison lasted 18 days. The wine was aged for 15 months in one-year-old barrels.
