Chambolle-Musigny

Chambolle-Musigny is a French appellation located in Burgundy, more precisely in Côte de Nuits (Côte d'Or) wine region. The whole appellation includes twenty-five Premier Cru designations and Musigny and Bonnes Mares as two Grand Cru vineyards with separate names.

The main grape variety is Pinot noir for red Musigny. The AOC regulations also allow up to 15 percent of Chardonnay, Pinot blanc, and Pinot Gris as accessory grapes in the red wine, but this is not often practiced. The wines of Chambolle-Musigny are typically described as the most "feminine" among the red wines of the Côte de Nuits, with floral elegance rather than power. Delicate and elegant Chambolle-Musigny wines typically display aromas of red fruit and violets that may develop into more complex notes of ripe fruit, truffles, and underbrush with age.

Because of its smooth and velvety texture, these wines are perfectly paired with roasted lamb and beef, as well as soft-center cheese varieties such as Brillat-Savarin or Reblochon.
