THE VINEYARD:
Chambolle-Musigny is one of the most prestigious municipalities of the Côte de Nuits. It is situated between two other famous villages: Vougeot and Morey-Saint-Denis.

The "Aux Echanges" parcel of about one hectare (2471 acres), located east of the village, enjoys the best location of the 20 parcels classified as "Premier Cru". The entire parcel belongs to the Leymarie-Ceci Domain.

 
THE WINE:
Chambolle is distinctly different from its neighbouring appellations. The Vougeot and Morey wines are as ardent, strong and vigorous in character, as the Chambolle wines are fine, sensitive, and flattering. They have the fragile and resolute charm of fine wines "en dentelle" (in lace).
