Wine Region: Burgundy - France
Grape: 100% Pinot Noir
Tasting notes:
From vines located just below Chassagne 1er cru Morgeot. Vine age here is mostly 80+ years old. Always a wine with generosity and finesse which delivers great pleasure already.
Expert Ratings:
‘This is a big cuvée, from a foudre of 12 barrels dimension plus 17 actual barrels. And it is a good one! A slightly darker purple, with a beautiful bouquet, the darker side of raspberries, this is really very harmonious on the palate, still with its welcome point of acidity, juicy and racy together. Drink from 2026-2031.’ - Jasper Morris
About the Winery: The Muzard domain belongs to a very old Santenoise family where they have been wine growers from father to son for nine generations (Jacques Muzard in 1645). Mr and Mme Lucien Muzard structured the vineyard in the1960s first of all by renting the vineyards, then gradually buying them.
Claude and Herve Muzard now work the 16 hectares of the family domain, distributed over various 'climats' with Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet and Pommard. The overall production of the domain is 5% white wine.
The business has preserved traditional methods (manual harvest, stalks removed from grapes and matured in vats) continuing to improve the quality thanks to new techniques (harvesting in 20 kg crates, sorting table, temperature control during wine-making). All the wines are matured in oak casks with a distribution, according to vintages, of 30 to 40% of new casks.
