Domaine Joseph Faiveley Chambolle-Musigny 2014
Chambolle-Musigny is a small village and wine appellation in the Côte de Nuits (subregion of Burgundy, France) which includes 24 Premier Cru. It is renowned for its Pinot Noir wines, which are often described as being feminine, elegant, delicate, and perfumed. The appellation was created in 1936. However the village itself was founded in the 6th century. The first vines were planted in the 7th century. The appellation covers only 223 hectares (551 acres), making it one of the smallest in Burgundy. However, it produces some of the most sought-after and expensive wines in the world. The vineyards of Chambolle-Musigny are located on the slopes of a valley, which helps to create a diversity of microclimates. The soils are primarily limestone, which is well-suited to Pinot Noir. The wines of Chambolle-Musigny are typically aged for several years before being released, which allows them to develop their full complexity.

▪️Beautiful, brilliant garnet red with hints of rust around the rim.
▪️It opens up with an explosion of aromas - red cherries, raspberry, and a touch of earth. Secondary notes of sandalwood, truffle, and leather emerge with the flick of the wrist. Hints of spice, like clove and nutmeg add more complexity.
▪️The first sip has such focus and concentration for a ten year old wine, the vibrant red fruit flavors from the nose come through prominently, joined by hints of cassis, plum, and dried cranberry. Earthy notes of mushroom and truffle linger alongside subtle minerality. The tannins are fine and integrated with the every bright acidity, and the finish on clove and nutmeg lingers caressingly adding to its intrigue.
Quite simply; it’s ageless elegance. Won’t you join me for a glass and savor its endless possibilities. Where will this wine take you?
