Chambolle Musigny by Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron 2020

Chambolle Musigny

by Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron 2020

Producer : Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron

Region : Burgundy (France)

Bottle Per Case : 6 x 750 ml

Food Pairing : Cured Meat, Duck breast, Hard Cheese, Red Meat

Tasting Notes

This 100% pinot noir from Chambolle-Musigny village comes from three plots vinified together, from lieux-dits "Derriere la Four", "Les Pas de Chats" and "Les Condemennes" (1.15 hectares). As with all wines from Confuron, the fruit and terroir predominate, so here too 30% has been raised on new oak and the rest on used oak barrels and the Chambolle-Musigny has also undergone a long-term malolactic fermentation.

The bouquet is ripe with bright black currants and cassis fruit neatly layered with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe, chocolate-tinted entrance, a fine acidity and a. The oak will take a few years after bottling to fully integrate, but it should be worth the wait. In summary, this Chambolle Musigny is very elegant (the trademark of Confuron) very pleasant on the palate, but with a certain structure and power.

The Producer

Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron

One of Burgundy’s most highly-regarded estates, the 20 acres of Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron are now controlled by Sophie Meunier-Confuron and her husband Alain Meunier. They took over from Sophie’s father in 1988, and converted all parcels to organic viticulture in 1990. The wines are brilliant examples of the concept of 'power without weight', with great depth of flavors wrapped up in refinement and elegance.

There are not many cellars in Burgundy where the range of wines is so consistently superb from top to bottom. They are blessed with excellent parcels of 1er Cru and Village vines in Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits-St. Georges, not to mention two great Grand Crus – the Romanée-St. Vivant and Clos Vougeot. Alain’s style is one of supreme grace and elegance. The wines are seductive and captivating, but they never shout.

The vineyards come from Sophie’s side of the family, and were once part of the Charles Noellat domaine. With the sale of part of the domaine to Leroy and the splitting off of pieces, you can now see the Confuron, Leroy, and Hudelot-Noëllat parcels side by side in several of the appellations. Confuron farms organically, Leroy farms Biodynamically, and Hudelot-Noëllat treats their vines 'conventionally' – making it fascinating to see these parcels one next to the other.
