"This domaine was created in the early 1930's by my wife's grandfather," Michel Digioia explains as he is sitting in his cellar in the middle of Chambolle-Musigny. In a way that was the beginning of the era of the grand vins. People were starting to bottle a little bit themselves.

Chambolle-Musigny is one of the most well known villages on the Cote de Nuits, the northern half of the Côte d'Or, but also one of the smallest. It is for instance less than half the size of Gevrey-Chambertin and the surrounding vines leaves little space for expansion.

Vinification: 100% de-stemmed, indigenous yeast, 20-50% new oak, fined/filtered if necessary
