Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru La Combe d'Orveaux Vieilles Vignes Bruno Clavelier 2009

La «cuvée»

This Chambolle Musigny Premier Cru has considerable depth and a very pleasant mineral quality. Aromas of spice, pomegranate and ripe red fruit define the wine’s impressive aromatic palette. The Combe d’Orveaux climat neighbours the vineyards of Le Musigny which makes it one of the most complex Chambolle premier crus in the appellation.

Domaine Bruno Clavelier has been located in Vosne-Romanée since the end of the 18th century. Formerly a trading house of the same name, managed by another branch of the family, the house sold the wines of the domaine but was was sold in 1991. Bruno Clavelier decided therefore to abandon his career as a rugby player to devote himself to the few remaining plots and to bottle his own wine. He was initially helped by his Burgundy grandfather, Joseph and joined by his wife Val?rie in 2003. Bruno Clavelier subsequently increased his domaine to 6 hectares (with plots acquired in Vosne-Romanée, Corton, Nuits- Saint-Georges and also Chambolle-Musigny) and converted the domaine to organic farming. Some old vineyards of the domaine were planted between 1930 and 1940. Bruno Clavelier produces about fifteen excellent cuvées. It is an exceptional example, and starting to become well-known amongst lovers of great Burgundy wines.
