Anne and Hervé Sigaut kindly postponed relaxing in to the weekend to host Nathan and me for a tasting at 6.30pm on a Friday. And we are very glad they did.

Anne was the first to harvest in the village on 23rd August (and only in the morning as it was too hot by lunch time to be anywhere other than sipping iced drinks in the shade) which has led to a well-delineated, elegantly perfumed, sweet pastille-fruited set of delicious wines. From the village wine right up to the senior crus, the domaine has managed to capture Chambolle’s signature florality and sensuousness, and in 2020 there is an extra layer of hedonic, plush and suavely ripe red fruits (and a touch of black fruits too).

The grapes are biodynamically farmed, 100% destemmed, and the wines unfiltered and unfined.
