Tasting: A graceful expression of Chambolle-Musigny terroir displaying characteristic finesse. The nose exhibits delicate aromas of red cherries, wild strawberries, and violets, with subtle hints of spice and forest floor. The palate shows exceptional elegance and silky texture, delivering refined red fruits, mineral notes, and floral undertones. Critics particularly note its ethereal quality and beautiful transparency to terroir.
Pairing: The wine's delicacy and ethereal nature pairs perfectly with Poulet de Bresse served with wild Girolles or Chanterelles. For meat, choose Limousin Veal with minimal seasoning to complement the wine's subtle character. The refined structure also matches beautifully with La Cour D'Armoise chicken or traditional Boudin Blanc. For cheese, serve with a young Vacherin Mont d'Or or delicate Camembert de Normandie.
Producer: Les Fouchères is situated in the northern sector of Chambolle-Musigny, on gentle slopes with well-draining limestone soils. The vineyard's position and soil composition contribute to wines that perfectly express the elegance for which Chambolle-Musigny is renowned. This village lieu-dit exemplifies the appellation's reputation for producing some of Burgundy's most graceful and perfumed expressions of Pinot Noir.
Vintage: 2018 was a warm, sunny vintage in Burgundy that produced ripe, generous wines. A hot summer was balanced by good water reserves from spring rains. The harvest began early under ideal conditions, resulting in perfectly mature grapes with good concentration. The vintage produced wines with wonderful fruit expression while maintaining the appellation's characteristic elegance and freshness.
