Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Derrière la Grange 2019 750mL

Description Producer:  DOMAINE CONFURON COTETIDOT Year of Harvest:  2019 Alcohol Level:  13% Grape Varieties:  Pinot Noir Bottle:  750 ml Description: The Confurons, Yves, Jean-Pierre and patriarch Jacky are the current generations of a very old family in Burgundy, with mention of this family in the court of Louis XIV. The Domaine is run by Yves and Jean Pierre, although its soul is Yves, who shares his time with Domaine de Courcel, in Pommard. The family is very close and Jacky’s father always lends a hand when he can. There are several predicates that make this producer special. Firstly, unlike most producers in Burgundy, Yves harvests much later, waiting for the Pinot Noir to be very ripe, and when he receives it, he harvests it with 100% stems, looking for freshness and finesse. Secondly, a purist line of thought, without interventions that harm the vineyard or the grapes, associated with an almost obsessive rigor. The result is great wines, which may initially seem “too” greedy, but after half a dozen years they become masterful. As a curiosity, and as no other family has this honor, there is a variety of Pinot Noir in Burgundy, called Pinot Confuron. Ruby red. The nose is rich and broad, with notes of blackberry, earth and undergrowth. On the palate, it is intense, elegant, well defined and well structured, with a tasty touch on the finish.
