In Burgundy it is all about location. Domaine Rene Cacheux may be very small but they certainly have some superbly located vineyards.
They are one of a handful of owners of Chambolle-Musigny Les Argillieres which lies right alongside the Grand Cru Le Musigny. The wines of Musigny are often spoken about as an “iron fist in a velvet glove”. Not surprisingly Les Argilieres shares similar characteristics. But at a fraction of the price.
The domaine owns a minute 0.13 hectares with a vine age around 50 years. These factors combine to make for an exceptional wine, albeit in tiny quantities.
