Chambolle-Musigny
1er Cru Aux Echanges
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.
This small climat covers only 92 ares in total, is located at the entrance of the village, in the northern part of the town.
"Aux Echanges" can take its name from a donation in favor of the Abbey of Citeaux or can refer to the word "Echangeur" because the vineyard is at the crossroads of several paths.
