Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir has very aromatic profile, very fresh acidity and low level of quaite soft tannins. The nature of Pinot Noir wine is its flavors of red berries and cherry (red sour cherries in lighter wines and cooked black cherries in bold examples). This wine matures very exating, developing notes of berry jam, violets, leather, moss and mushrooms.
Chambolle-Musigny
Chamboll-Musigny is a small village in the northern part of Côte de Nuits Burgundy. It has a population of less than 400, but it has historical significance and a reputation for producing high quality wines. The village produces exclusively red wines from Pinot Noir. The classic Chambolle-Musigny wine is strong yet refined and aromatic. It is believed that, together with the villages of Vonet-Romanet and Gevrey-Chambertin, some of the best Pinot Noir wines in the world are created here. The climate of Chamboll-Musigny, like the entire Côte d'Ora, is continental. Fluctuations in daytime and nighttime temperatures help bring out balanced acids and sugars in grapes. Chamboll-Musigny was originally called simply Chamboll, but in 1882 the name of the Musigny vineyard was added. This was the fashion of the time, followed by twelve villages throughout the Côte d'Or department. The Musigny vineyard was classified in 1936 with the new name Chambolle-Musigny.
Burgundy
Burgundy (Bourgogne) can be confusing because of the multiplicity of its appellations - all the small vineyards are divided between multiple producers so it can often be difficult to understand this diversity. However, it is the exact reason why the wines of Burgundy are considered to be the finest in the world. A common topic of discussion, when talking about Burgundy, is the concept of "terroir" - a unique combination of soil and climate conditions that affects the taste of wine in the appellations, making it unique to each village. Winemakers mainly use the capricious Pinot Noir and the classical Chardonnay to create true masterpieces, while Gamay and Aligote are used to make wines of a bit simpler style. Particular attention should be paid to the hierarchy of wines. First there are the regional and village wines, a step higher - the Premier Cru wines and the outstanding Grand Cru - at the top. Due the complex and inconsistent weather that can notably impact wine quality especially in bad harvest years, a very important factor here is the so called millesime - the harvest year of the grapes the particular wine is produced of, because each of these years has its own unique taste. Purchasing Burgundy wines is not easy because there are many details that should be taken into consideration - the class of the vineyard, the assessment of the manufacturer, the age of the vines, the quality of the wine as well as the millesime and, of course, the potential of ageing. The sellers play a big role here - they must be truly passionate about wine and able to offer only the best quality producers with a good reputation. That is exactly the way "Noble Wine" works!
