Couvent Chambolle-Musigny “Clos de l’Orme” 2020

Philippe and Paul Cheron are father and son winemakers at Domaine du Couvent, born five years ago when the Cherons acquired most of Domaine des Varoilles and combined it with their family holdings. Today they farm 25 hectares across nearly every corner of the Côte de Nuits. Their Chambolle-Musigny comes from the village-level Clos de l’Orme vineyard. This is every bit a Chambolle, with a silky dried-flower perfume that unfurls from the glass with grace and poise. The mouth is fine-grained and smooth, with faint notes of stems and violets. It’s lacelike and lovely.
