Ultra - Chambolle-Musigny - Cuvée Ultra

Combe d’Orveau

2021
Ultra cuvées take the notion of terroir a step further, transcending the unique expression of each climat. They reveal an obvious difference in soil composition between the upper and lower parts of each climat. Two different terroirs in one, and the opportunity to reveal and express their full essence and uniqueness. Ultra cuvées represent the quintessence of terroir, the purest expression of terroir.


Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru la "Combe d'Orveau" cuvée Ultra comes from the lower part of the climat, close to the "Musigny" Grand Cru appellation. This part of the vineyard is composed of finer soils containing more silt, giving greater density, depth and freshness to a wine brimming with floral refinement and unique aromatic complexity. This parcel, planted in 1942, transcends the singularity of each vintage, with each year bringing additional depth to the wine. Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru la "Combe d'Orveau" cuvée Ultra is without doubt one of the quintessential Chambolle-Musigny terroirs, intoxicating the senses and demonstrating finesse combined with exceptional complexity.

If the 2021 wine year ended with a sunny summer, its beginnings were marked by two devastating waves of frost, which had a profound impact on the vines and endangered the coming harvest. That year, Burgundy enjoyed a mild winter. In spring, after heavy frosts in early April, the return of fine weather finally arrived, providing an ideal climate for flowering. A few weeks later, the start of summer is marked by heavy rain and pervasive humidity. August saw the return of dry, sunny weather for three weeks in a row, favoring optimal ripening of the fruit. At the end of September, the grapes reached perfect ripeness, triggering the start of the harvest on September 23. Production from this capricious vintage is exclusive.

The 2020 vintage benefited from a very early harvest which began at the end of August. This exceptional vintage, produced in very small quantities due to very hot summer weather, revives the glorious past of the great Burgundies. After a wet, mild winter, the summer of 2020 was dry and hot. During this period, the vines suffered from a lack of water from flowering onwards, leading to a drop in yields. This early, sunny vintage produced some very fine wines characterized by remarkable freshness and tension, with a rare elegance of silky, refined tannins. This grandiose vintage deserves all the care of long ageing in the cellar to reveal its full potential. The ardor of this vintage and its excellent balance will also enable the wines to be enjoyed in their youth, with notes of crisp fruit complemented by floral evanescence.
