Domaine Digioia-Royer Chambolle-Musigny

A range split equally between regional appellations and Chambolle-Musigny (plus recent addition of a small quantity of Nuits St Georges). Much emphasis here placed on the quality of the regional appellations. The very limited production levels and the reputation that the domaine has built for itself in barely 10 years ensures that almost all appellations are virtually sold out by the time the wines are released and current availability only extends to a handful of wines. The “boutique” nature of this domaine dictates that only small allocations are available in any year. However, the rapidly rising status of Domaine Digioia-Royer puts it firmly within the class of highly desirable and sought after estates in this particular village, where supply of quality wine is arguably at its most acute.

The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Village comes from 8 parcels of vine scattered around the appellation, the vines averaging between 50 and 60 years in age. It has corpulent and very pure red berry fruit on the nose that is harmonious and rounded. The palate is rounded and very smooth in the mouth (and this sample was not taken from a new barrel that will ultimately constitute around 25% of the blend.) This should turn out to be quite a sumptuous village cru. - The Wine Advocate (2012 vintage)
