Michel Gros's Chambolle-Musigny village wine is produced from estate holdings in the southern Cote de Nuits' most perfumed appellation. Chambolle-Musigny is renowned for producing Pinot Noir of exceptional aromatic delicacy and silky texture, qualities that emerge clearly even at village level when the vines are well-tended and the winemaking thoughtful. Michel Gros's version reflects the estate's preference for purity of fruit expression over extraction.

The 2021 Burgundy vintage was marked by spring frost that reduced yields dramatically across many appellations, including Chambolle-Musigny. While challenging for volume, the vintage rewarded producers who managed the challenging conditions carefully, delivering wines of notable freshness, aromatic precision and fine-grained tannins that have already attracted strong critical commentary. In magnum format, the wine develops more slowly, gaining complexity over a longer timeframe than the standard bottle.

Village Chambolle-Musigny from a serious estate producer in magnum is a practical and aesthetically appealing choice for buyers who value both the appellation's character and the format's presentation advantage. Michel Gros's reputation across the Cote de Nuits ensures consistent demand for these wines, and the magnum presents the wine in a format particularly suited to formal dining and gifting occasions.

Drink from 2024 to 2030. Ideal with roast guinea fowl, pigeon, mushroom risotto or delicate cheeses. Serve at 15 degrees in a wide-bowled glass.

Pale ruby with a bright rim. Aromas of red cherry, rose petal, dried violet and a fine chalky mineral note emerge clearly. The palate is elegant and light-to-medium bodied, with silky tannins and precise acidity delivering the classic Chambolle-Musigny delicacy. Clean and focused finish.
