Description

All vines in this cuvée are between 65 and 70 years old, from three plots on the northern side of Chambolle, close to Morey. This area can produce rustic wines if not handled carefully, so Virgile did no pigeage this year. There is a delightful floral purity to this wine, with elegant tannins and a precise, chalky finish. Drink 2024-2034.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 90-93/100
Another ludicrously dark purple. Virgile always gets deep colours anyway! 80% whole bunch. The bouquet is more representative of pinot fruit than the Bourgogne, with some redder notes in the mix. Generous but with a mineral acidity which underpins. Fresh red berries are the predominant flavour with a little lick of liquorice to finish. The tannins are well integrated.Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (January 2022)
