Henri De Villamont Chambolle Musigny du Domain HDV 2007
The site of Savigny-lès-Beaune was identified as an ideal location and the architect Albert Suisse was appointed to lead the construction which lasted from 1880 to 1888. The outcome was quite spectacular with 4000 covered square meters, six meters high vaults, a capacity of 4000 barrels (of 228 liters each) and a heating system to initiate the malolactic fermentation. The Schenk Group finally acquired it in 1964 together with diverse vineyards in the Côte d’Or.
100% Pinot Noir and aged in all French oak barrels.
Lush red in color with lovely perfumed fruit on the nose. It's about red berries and earthy texture.
The palate shows this wine as a medium bodied affair with a touch of healthy acidity. The fruits are fully ripened and match exceptionally well with the black pepper that sits in the background. Tasty and moreish.
