36 hectares planted in 1993 that they only bottle separately in exceptional years

Frederic Magnien Les Baudes, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, France 2019 Les Aurelles 36 hectares planted in 1993A highly spiced nose features notes of dark berry fruit liqueur, earth and a hint of violet.

This robust effort is more Bonnes Mares than Chambolle in style.
