Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi Chambolle-Musigny 2021

The wine
A quintessential Chambolle-Musigny, defined by charm and grace. Fragrant red berries and violets burst from the glass, accompanied by a subtle spice.
Chambolle-Musigny lies between Morey-Saint-Denis and Vougeot and produces the most perfumed and delicate reds of the Côte de Nuits, a matter of thin soils over limestone rather than of winemaking. It is also one of the smallest communes on the slope. The hand-harvested fruit went through a double sorting, once in the vineyard and again at the winery.

View all Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi winesDomaine du Château Philippe le Hardi is one of Burgundy largest single estates, centred on a historic château in the Côte Chalonnaise. Named for the medieval Duke Philip the Bold, who championed Pinot Noir, it farms an impressive spread from Mercurey to the grand crus of the Côte d'Or. Few domaines offer such range.
The estate farms sustainably across a mosaic of terroirs, vinifying each with care and well-judged oak. From everyday Bourgogne to grand cru, the wines share a house signature of balance, freshness, and polish. There is real quality at every level.
The range spans crisp Chalonnaise whites, characterful Mercurey reds, and a fine selection of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune crus. Each traces the character of its appellation with confidence.
To pour a Philippe le Hardi wine is to taste the breadth of Burgundy from a single, storied estate. Polished, balanced, and dependable, these are wines for every table.
