The Land
Les Sentiers sits in the northern reaches of Chambolle-Musigny, just below the iconic Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru. This plot is notable for its geological complexity: abundant clay overlaying limestone layers from multiple eras—aptly described as a “Côte de Nuits in miniature.” Vines here average around 70 years of age, having tapped deep into the subsoils to produce fruit with both concentration and finesse. The resulting grapes capture Chambolle’s signature elegance while reflecting the richness of this unique terroir.
The Wine
Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut’s 2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Sentiers Vieilles Vignes undergoes a gentle vinification process, designed to highlight its old-vine intensity without overwhelming the region’s prized delicacy. Fruit is hand-harvested and sorted, with fermentation driven by indigenous yeasts. Light extraction methods—subtle pump-overs and occasional punch-downs—allow the Pinot Noir’s nuanced aromas to shine through. Maturation in French oak barrels, with only a modest percentage of new oak, imparts depth without masking the wine’s vibrant red fruit, earthy undertones, and seductive floral notes.
The People
Anne and Hervé Sigaut continue a lineage of four generations in Chambolle-Musigny, cultivating roughly seven hectares of vines throughout the appellation. Anne focuses on nurturing the vineyards—eschewing herbicides in favor of organic methods—while Hervé oversees the cellar, maintaining a gentle approach that preserves Pinot Noir’s inherent refinement. United by a commitment to tradition and terroir, they have earned a reputation for wines that beautifully capture Chambolle’s trademark elegance, inviting Burgundy lovers to experience Pinot Noir at its most captivating.

Burgundy, in eastern France, encompasses several subregions, but it is the Côte d'Or that is home to many of the world's most expensive and revered wines. The region, primarily a single east-facing slope, has mixed limestone soils that vary dramatically from village to village and even vineyard to vineyard. White wines, crafted from Chardonnay, range from rich and opulent to lean and intensely mineral, while Pinot Noir produces silky, perfumed red wines of exceptional finesse and complexity. Centuries of winemaking tradition have resulted in every plot being meticulously recognized and scrutinized, making the Côte d'Or a true capital of terroir.
Burgundy - Cote d'Or
Pinot Noir is a thin-skinned, notoriously difficult-to-grow, low-yielding grape that finds its ancestral home in Burgundy, France, where it produces some of the world's most elegant and nuanced wines. While Burgundy remains its spiritual heartland, Pinot Noir has since traveled the globe, finding success in other cooler climates, notably in California, Oregon, New Zealand, and Germany. This grape is a challenge for any grower, as it requires specific conditions to show its best, and yet the wines it produces are capable of such a captivating and singular character.

"Unknown" farming method indicates that the specific vineyard practices used to produce the wine have not yet been clearly identified or verified. Due to limited publicly available information, complexity of research, or lack of transparency from certain wineries, it can sometimes be challenging to accurately categorize each vineyard's farming practices. Our team is actively working to research and update our records to provide the most accurate information on every wine we offer. We understand the importance of transparency and sustainability and strive to categorize and communicate farming methods as quickly and comprehensively as possible.
