Vintage Character The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fremières from Michel Magnien offers a beautifully transparent expression of this renowned Burgundy village, with fruit sourced from the limestone-rich soils of the Les Fremières lieu-dit. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was shaped by a challenging growing season, including a cool spring and severe frost, which led to significantly reduced yields but produced wines celebrated for their purity, finesse, and aromatic clarity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine opens with an enticing bouquet of wild cherry, raspberry, rose petals, and subtle forest floor nuances. On the palate, it is finely balanced, with silky tannins supporting vibrant layers of red fruit, mineral undertones, and a gentle touch of spice. The persistent, graceful finish makes it a versatile companion for classic dishes such as roast duck breast with cherry sauce or French coq au vin, while it also pairs harmoniously with Cantonese soy-braised chicken, offering a refined interplay of savory and aromatic notes.
