Collotte Chambolle-Musigny Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 2021

Substantially from 40-50+ yo vines planted just beneath 1er cru vineyards in the lieu dits of Les Échanges and Les Athets, with a small proportion from the adjoining Les Chardannes and Les Herbues. Deep rich and intense a remarkably generous village wine that punches well above its weight for both character and intensity.

”80% aux Echanges plus Athets and les Chardannes. The last vintage of this will be next year (2022) as the family (from Chambolle) who had leased the vines on Fermage will get the vines back and exploit themselves.
There is a little extra to this nose but it’s also very much in the slightly mineral-edgy but pure perfumed style of the rest of their range. Broad, beautifully textured, satisfyingly mouth-watering and tasty – this is also, like the Evocelles, a very attractive wine in 2021 with a great, late-arriving, perfume in the finish. Super again!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report, January 2023.
