Lignier-Michelot Chambolle Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2021 (750ml)
Product price
$89.99
Description
This is a Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny, one of Burgundy's most elegant appellations, made by Lignier-Michelot from old vines in the 2021 vintage. The wine is built with 80 percent whole-bunch fermentation, a technique that can add structure and aromatic complexity to young Pinot.
The wine shows a layered core of blackberry and raspberry, with white pepper and tea leaf notes emerging as it opens on the palate. There's real expressiveness beneath a firm finish, though the youth of the vintage means it still carries some reserve. This is a wine that will benefit from patience, two or three years of bottle age will allow the tannins to settle and the flavors to deepen and integrate.

Expert Reviews
The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes includes 80% whole bunches. Somehow, I find this a little subdued following the more effervescent Bourgogne Rouge. Maybe just going through a dumb phase? The palate is much more expressive with quite a layered blackberry and raspberry core. White pepper and tea leaves appear toward the firm finish. Give this two or three years in bottle.
