From four parcels of old vines totaling nearly 0.4 hectares
located in Chambolle Musigny close to the Morey St Denis border. Less than 200 cases produced from these old vines planted mid 1960’s in deeper clay soils more typical of Chambolle lower slopes. About 50% whole bunch fermented with just 20% new oak this is deep and remarkably complex for this level. Outstanding
