Chambolle-Musigny 2024
The wines of Chambolle-Musigny, located in the Côte de Nuits, are unique red wines that symbolize finesse and elegance…
Origin
This appellation is one of the smallest and most parcelled out of the Côte with only 97 ha of Village appellation vines, 50 ha of Premiers Crus and 25 ha of Grands Crus. The terroirs of Chambolle-Musigny are rather homogenous and enjoy eastern exposure. The delicate silkiness of its wines stems directly from the soil type. Parent rock composed of hard limestone forms the base, topped by a thin layer of Bathonian limestone gravel that ensures good drainage of the soil and contributes to the fine, sensual and charming character of these wines.
Our cuvee is a blend of four “climats” of Chambolle-Musigny: “Les pas de chats”, “Derrière le four”, “Le Clos de L’Orme” and “Les Danguerrins”. Wines made from grapes produced in organic managed vineyards since 2009.

At Les Ursulines, meticulous sorting allowed the selection of the most promising grapes (with very low yields in red), fully expressing the qualitative potential of the harvest. The result meets our highest expectations: the whites display beautiful freshness and acidity, while the reds reveal intense fruit character and supple tannins.

Tasting notes
With its attractive ruby color, this wine reveals a concentrated and highly aromatic nose of blackcurrant, redcurrant, and blueberry, supported by elegant oak. On the palate, the attack is direct and fruit-driven, balanced by a pleasant freshness. The overall impression is ample and well-structured, with subtle woody and spicy notes, and tannins that are present yet well integrated.
