Odoul-Coquard Chambolle Musigny Premier Cru Les Sentiers 2022 750ml

Les Sentiers, perched at the northern edge of the Chambolle-Musigny appellation in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, presents a fascinating juxtaposition. Though Chambolle-Musigny wines are celebrated for their elegance and finesse, Les Sentiers’ terroir leans towards the robust character found in neighboring Morey-Saint-Denis. This unique setting imparts a slightly more muscular profile to the Pinot Noir wines crafted here, offering a captivating blend of power and grace.
Les Sentiers means “the trails” in French, and refers to the paths that once ran through the vineyards.

Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world’s most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means ‘black pine’ in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
