<p>Les Noirots lies in the northern sector of Chambolle, flanked by Les Baudes to the north and Les Gruenchers to the south. Ghislaine owns such a tiny parcel of this cru—all of 0.15 hectares—that it was formerly blended into her villages-level Chambolle-Musigny, but she began bottling it separately with the 2017 vintage. Spicy and brooding, “Les Noirots” offers a firmness of structure akin to her Beaux-Bruns, but with less immediate charm; cellaring will certainly help it blossom. </p>
