Chambolle-Musigny
1er Cru Les Feusselottes
The wines of Chambolle-Musigny, located in the Côte de Nuits, are unique red wines that symbolize finesse and elegance…
Origin
This appellation is one of the smallest and most parcelled out of the Côte with only 97 ha of Village appellation vines, 50 ha of Premiers Crus and 25 ha of Grands Crus. The terroirs of Chambolle-Musigny are rather homogenous and enjoy eastern exposure. The delicate silkiness of its wines stems directly from the soil type.
'Feusselotte' is a diminutive of the Burgundian word Feusse for Fosse. It bears witness to the presence of ancient quarries. They have been filled in and as a result, the soil is uneven in places.
