This village Chambolle grows at a lieu-dit bordering Musigny on the hill to the north, where Frédéric Magnien farms vines averaging 50 years old, certified under biodynamics. Between his farming, the aging regimen of used oak barrels (82 percent) and clay pots (18 percent) and the limestone–clay marl soils, this wine is invested with the power to seduce in its fragrance and its seemingly boundless length of flavor. The limestone influence is present from the beginning, in the lift of the floral perfume, in the vibrant acidity that brings a sunny feel to the deep raspberry savor. The tannins convey the feel of a cool cellar, still carrying a glimpse of the sun from above. It’s a little Amoureuses fix for a lot less money.
