The Story

Just below the village of Chambolle, towards the east, "les Athets” is planted in deep but well-drained soil; just above it, in the direction of Morey, "les Drazey” is in a typical situation for the village, at the foot of the hill, in medium-deep soil. Situated in two vineyard plots, one of which is very old and the other middle-aged. The grapes are small and concentrated, and the sugar/acid balance here is excellent.

Normally, once it has been bottled, you need to wait at least three or four years before tasting it, for it may appear tight at the beginning. The ageing is excellent, so don't hesitate if you want to lay down a few bottles for your son's twentieth birthday!

This wine is characterised by its strength and its structure. Of course, this is Chambolle-Musigny and there is no trace of aggressiveness. But it is intense, and both the degree of maturity and the level of acidity are high, which represents a fairly rare but interesting combination.

Vintage 2020

In Burgundy, the harvest is over for most farmers. It has been a year with a lot of heat both in July and August. A huge problem this year has been leaf-thinning and canopy management. Those who have not paid enough attention to the leaf-thinning experienced problems with sunburned grapes.

In Cote d’Or, it is especially the heat that has been tricky this season. First and foremost, some grapes have been burned by the sun resulting in raisins that the critical winegrower will not want in the cellar. Secondly, too much sun for a longer period caused stress among the vines and thus shut down the ripening. The result is grapes that look ripe but are still not ripe in taste. On the other hand, the most critical winegrowers report of really good grapes in the winery. Producers up north in Chablis are also reporting a satisfactory harvest.
