Daniel Moine Hudelot Chambolle Musigny les Amoureuses 1er Cru 1996 750ml

From internet
This is an estate over whose future hangs a question mark, for Daniel Hudelot is now of retirement age, as is his brother who works alongside him The brother has no children, and Daniel, a soledaughter, who is apprently not interested in taking over. Fifteen years ago, this estate owned 0.35 hectares in Le Musigny and 0.17 hectares in Bonnes-Mares, as well as 0.15 hectares of Clos Vougeot. Gradually, these gems have been sold off - the prices were so high that the death dutires thereon would have been crippling. The style here is for lightish wines. In good years, there is no lack of elegance or intensity.

Chambolle-Musigny is a tiny commune in the Côte de Nuits sub-region of Burgundy. It has a population of fewer than 400, but enjoys an historic and widespread reputation for its high-quality wines.

The village produces almost exclusively red wines from Pinot Noir. The classic Chambolle-Musigny wine is powerful, yet refined and perfumed. Along with Vosne-Romanée and Gevrey-Chambertin, the village is considered to produce some of the finest Pinot Noir wines on earth. The perfume which characterizes the wines has earned Chambolle a reputation as the 'Volnay' of the Côte de Nuits.
