Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut
Les Chatelots Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Chambolle-Musigny, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Wow. Vineyard: Nearly 50 year old vines in Les Chatelots, this 2.96 hectares 1er Cru vineyard sits close to the village of Chambolle and part of the vineyard adjoins Charmes.
Orientation: South/Southeast
Soil: Clay-limestone with a fair amount of stones
Viticulture: Lutte raisonée, organic after the flowering
Vinification: Traditional vinification; 7 day cold maceration, 3 week alcoholic fermentation.
Aging: Aged in French barrels, 30% of which are new
Production: 250 cases
Notes: Vibrant, polished and structured, yet delicate.
RATINGS
Publication: Burghound
Rating: 90-92
A discreet application of wood allows the airy, pure and elegant aromas of violet, plum and exotic tea to shine. There is a cool and restrained mouth feel to the punchy medium weight flavors that offer good richness yet also pretty good delineation on the soil and mineral-inflected finish that is dusty, balanced and solidly persistent. It's rare that even a very good Chatelots can match an average Fuées but that is the case here.

Nose is dark fruit, no floral notes. Color is dense violet. Very smooth mouthfeel and could be compared to a well aged burg. But overall the only thing lacking length on palette with vibrant notes. Let it open for at least an hr. Good experience overall, drink anytime.

2013 vintage. Courtesy of @Pinotman /// Andreas. Opened with a perfect cork and decanted. Tasted over the course of 1.25 hours. Decided power and focus. Any Chambolle subtleties mostly lost here as this was still über-focused on setting a personal best. Ridic delish tho. Thinking it needs another 5-7 years to drop (some of) the power chords but this producer is always going to come across as too forward and in your face-without oak stylings. 11.13.26.
