In my second entry on the famous communes of Burgundy, I am writing on Chambolle-Musigny. Once again, we see the double barreled name. Chambolle is the name of the commune. In 1882, as a marketing ploy, they added to their name that of their most famous vineyard, Musigny. The AOC of Chambolle-Musigny was created in 1936 and with that they also began allowing production of white Chardonnay wine within Musigny, but not within the rest of the vineyard. Strangely, it is the only Grand Cru in Côte de Nuits that may produce a white wine. Chambolle-Musigny primarily produces red Pinot Noir and these wines are renowned for their femininity. Located just south of Morey-Saint-Denis, the two share the Grand Cru Bonnes Mares.
In the map below, make sure to note the location and details of Musigny. I will go into more detail about that specific vineyard when I write about de Vogüé.
