Domaine DIGIOIA-ROYER (Chambolle-Musigny) -- 2018 tasted from bottle, tank sample, and barrel

(Please see here for my overview on 2018 in the Côte d’Or.)

Harvesting began on 6 September in Chambolle-Musigny and on the 12th in the Hautes Côtes de Nuits said Michel Digioia.

Quantities here are a little below those of 2017. Alcohols go from 13.2º to 14º, with 14.6º being an outlier highest. It was not easy to get all the alcoholic fermentations to finish. As usual here, all grapes were destemmed. Malo-lactic fermentations were very long; the first began in winter and they finished in June and July.
