2018 Domaine Anne et Herve Sigaut Les Sentiers Vieilles Vignes, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru

The 2018 Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “Les Sentiers Vieilles Vignes” is a structured yet elegant Pinot Noir from one of Chambolle’s more powerful Premier Cru sites, located just below Bonnes-Mares where clay-limestone soils and old vines contribute both depth and finesse. The wine typically shows aromas of ripe red and dark cherry, raspberry, cassis, rose petal, and subtle spice with hints of cocoa and earth, while the palate is medium-to-full-bodied with a rich core of fruit, velvety tannins, and a refined but firm structure that leans slightly more toward the muscular, Morey-like side of Chambolle. Despite its ripeness in the 2018 vintage, it retains balance and freshness, finishing long with notes of spice and mineral tension, and benefits from some air or additional cellaring to fully integrate and reveal its complexity.
