Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut, 2021 is a poised and elegant Pinot Noir, offering fragrant red and dark berry fruit with violet and subtle spice, followed by a silky, medium-bodied palate of raspberry, redcurrant and gentle mineral nuance, finishing fresh and finely textured.
A lovely match for duck breast with a berry glaze, herb-roasted chicken, or wild mushroom risotto, which echo its finesse and aromatic lift.
The Sigaut family are long-established in Chambolle-Musigny, crafting bright, terroir-driven wines with a light touch, and despite the challenges of the cooler 2021 vintage, this wine shows the year’s hallmark freshness, clarity and balance.

Vintage report
The 2021 growing season in Burgundy started badly and got worse before pulling off one of wine's great escapes. Spring frost in April devastated vineyards across the Côte d'Or, followed by a summer that alternated between biblical downpours and scorching heat. Many producers lost 50% or more of their crop to the frost alone, then watched hail batter what remained in some unlucky villages. By August, with rot creeping through rain-soaked vineyards, even the most optimistic vignerons were writing off the vintage.
What emerged from this chaos surprised everyone: wines with remarkable freshness and purity, if you can find them. The tiny yields meant those grapes that survived were intensely concentrated, while the September sunshine saved the day with perfect ripening conditions. We find the reds show beautiful fruit clarity without heaviness, drinking with an immediacy that makes them irresistible now but promising a decade or more of evolution. The whites are particularly stunning, with a mineral intensity that cuts through their richness. Yes, there's not much 2021 Burgundy about, and yes, it's expensive, but this is one of those vintages where disaster bred greatness.
