Overview:
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Hubert Et Laurent Lignier exemplifies the elegance and depth of one of Burgundy’s most celebrated appellations. Sourced from vines over 50 years old, this wine is a blend of fruit from two select parcels beneath the Sentiers 1er Cru, with each vine's age contributing to the wine's complexity and structure. With only five barrels produced on average, this wine showcases the finesse of Chambolle-Musigny, distinguished by its aromatic profile, fine tannins, and a firm, yet graceful finish. While it can be enjoyed in its youth, this wine will also evolve beautifully with time in the cellar.
Tasting Notes:
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes opens with an elegant nose of dark cherry, earthy tones, and a touch of humus, which is gently framed by subtle wood influence. On the palate, the wine reveals medium weight with increased volume and concentration, thanks to the old vines, creating a round and layered mouthfeel. The tannins are firm and compact, providing structure to the wine’s body, while the finish lingers with a touch of rusticity, characteristic of the terroir. This wine is vibrant and expressive, with a balance of fruit, earth, and subtle spice, making it an excellent match for rich meats, roasted poultry, or a variety of cheeses. While enjoyable now, this wine will reward further aging, revealing more depth and complexity with time.
