Vintage Character Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Sentiers 2019 from Michel Magnien is a striking example of the appellation’s hallmark elegance and finesse. The 2019 vintage in Burgundy was widely celebrated for its warm, sunny growing season, which yielded wines of impressive concentration, purity, and aromatic vibrancy.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Premier Cru Pinot Noir opens with an expressive bouquet of wild strawberries, raspberries, rose petals, and subtle undertones of spice and forest floor. On the palate, it is silky and layered, with delicate minerality supporting flavors of red cherry, cranberry, and exotic spice, culminating in a graceful, lingering finish. Its refined structure and polished tannins make it an excellent partner for dishes such as roast duck with cherry sauce, a classic mushroom risotto, or a serving of aged Comté cheese, each enhancing the wine’s nuanced complexity.
