Domaine Antonin Guyon, Chambolle Musigny 'Clos du Village' Monopole, 2018

ABOUT THE WINE. The second generation now manages this domaine, founded by Antonin in the 1960s. Based in Savigny-les-Beaune, they own vines throughout the Cote d'Or, including parcels in some of the finest Premier and Grand cru vineyards. Harvest is by hand, with initial sorting in the vineyard; no more than 50% new oak is used, and the wines of the domaine have a classic freshness and purity to them.. TASTING NOTES. Lovely aromas of violets and perfumed red cherries. Beautifully concentrated, with excellent structure and intensity, this wine may be kept for up to 25 years. A robust expression of the appellation, this wine is best enjoyed with food, at least 5 years from vintage.. FOOD PAIRING. Ideal with game birds, or even pork.. FRIARWOOD SAYS. A special appellation; the wines of Chambolle-Musigny combine ethereal delicacy with powerful flavour. This is perhaps the most age-worthy wine from this domaine.
