Domaine Bruno Clair Chambolle-Musigny Les Véroilles

Wine Information
Several small plots given up after the phylloxerna crisis, belonging either to the commune of Chambolle-Musigny or to individuals, were rented in order to form two larger and usable plots.

Planted in 1989, in soil favourable to the vine (planted in the 18th and 19th century), but uncultivated since, to produce a wine resulting from a commune which is dear to me for the finesse and the elegance of its wines. The venture appeared very positive because since 1992, first harvest of this vineyard, the wines have been fine and silky. With the years passing and the increasingly deeper rooting of the vines, the wines become more extensive and deep. The wines are well scented, silky and gain in texture and length. Thanks to their natural finesse, they can be drunk young or kept in storage for a few years.
