Bouchard - Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Noirots - Bourgogne | French Red Wine

The soils and sub-soils of the commune of Chambolle-Musigny are of an ideal composition for the production of wines of remarkable finesse and elegance, which have earned Chambolle the nickname of the "Volnay of the Côte de Nuits". The soil is generally not very deep, obliging the vine to search nourishment down as far as 10 meters deep, notably on the terroir of Musigny. Going back up towards another Grand Cru situated further north, the terroir of Bonnes Mares, the wines gain in body and power, like those from the parcel of Noirots.

HARVEST:
Manual, in small cases of 13 kg. Careful manual sorting of each grape.

VINIFICATION:
Following total or partial destemming on the vintage, fermentation in small containers, gentle pressing ensure optimal vinification. Depending on the profile of the vintage, vatting lasts 15 to 20 days.

MATURING:
12 to 14 months in French oak, with 40 to 50% new oak.

AGING:
The cellars of the Bastions of the ancient Château de Beaune offer natural ambient conditions that are perfectly adapted to ageing the Premiers Crus.
