Description

Michel Digioia has been running Domaine Digioia-Royer in Chambolle-Musigny since 1999. In 2003 he decided to give it a go and bottle all of his wine himself. Now the clients are lining up and most of his premier crus are sold two years in advance. – 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.
