Red Wine by Louis Jadot from Burgundy, France - regions. The commune of Chambolle and its village are transversed by the Little River Grone, ordinarily a peaceful body of water. But for centuries, occasional downpours have transformed it into a savage, torrential flood submerging streets and cellars. The persistence of this behavior is evidenced by the Latin name Campus Ebulliens, or boiling field, from which by 1110 Cambola, and later Chambolle, evolved. It was only planted in vines, during the 1200s, by the monks of Vougeot. Le Musigny is the oldest vineyard of Chambolle, originally a property of the Musigne family, who, during the Middle Ages, were heavily involved with the government of The Duchy of Burgundy. Le Musigny is an elongated climat at the southern end of Chambolle covering 26 acres in four parcels: two in La Combe d'Orveau, totalling 1.5 acres; 10.5 in Les Petits Musigny; and 14.5, in Le Musigny proper. The unusual calcareous soils of Chambolle are especially fine in the Musigny vineyard, and produce a magnificent wine of greater elegance than any of the Cote d'Or. Domaine Louis Jadot is proprietor of .4 acres in Le Musigny acquired in 1985 through the purchase of Domaine Clair Dau. This superb parcel produces a quintessential Musigny, with the slightly floral, violet-scented bouquet and raspberry flavors characteristic of the wine. Ethereally delicate and feminine, yet with a firm structure, it shows a silky texture and elegant fruit complexity of exceptional finesse. Deep ruby-red. Wonderfully soil-driven nose offers sappy black cherry liqueur, minerals, licorice and pungent earth tones; far more expressive today than the Bonnes-Mares. An outstanding, pure expression of soil, with remarkable energy to its flavors of sappy black fruits, licorice, stone, spices and pepper. Finishes with terrific vibrancy and lift. -International Wine Cellar 92-96
