Set into the cleft of Combe Ambin in the hillside south of Morey, this small appellation of just 150ha includes 24 Premier Cru, as well as sharing the two Grand Crus of Bonnes-Mares (Morey) and Musigny, adjoining Vougeot to the south. The protection from the westerly winds ends at the head of this gully, meaning the mid rump of the commune contains just village and Premier Cru wines, all turning to the South and South East, to capture the precious sunlight, and the soils are a mixture of eroded rich soils from the upper part of the narrow gorge of Ambin, as well as a scraping of limestone and marl. Chambolle-Musigny is often described as the most feminine of the top Pinot dominated communes in the Côte d’Or. Its perfume is intoxicating, and the wines fleshy, succulent and elegant above all else.
