The amicable and humble duo Anne & Hervé Sigaut manage 7 hectares in the celebrated village of Chambolle-Musigny.
The village and appellation of Chambolle Musigny is one that delights true Burgundy lovers like no other. It stands alone as the supreme example of Pinot Noir at its most elegant and finesseful. In tasting the wines of Anne and Hervé Sigaut, one experiences as classic and archetypal examples as can be found. They scream Chambolle terroir, with fine, elegant and floral aromas and flavors, ethereal, energetic textures, and wonderful chalky/mineral tannins that dance over your palate like a ballerina. This relatively small seven hectares estate has been in existence for four generations. It is run by the amiable couple, Anne and Hervé Sigaut who are wonderful, low-key folks, true people of the earth who love what they do and clearly work hard to make the absolute best wines that they can, not for the outside praise, but rather because their inner ‘Burgundian compasses’ guide them to do so. Although they collaborate on all aspects of the production, she is a bit more in vineyards, and he more in the cellar.
Because they don’t own any Grand Cru vineyards, they have largely remained “under-the-radar” in a village that certainly doesn’t lack for anointed stars. Like their understated personalities, the Sigauts prefer to make wines on the fine and delicate side, wines that caress rather than clobber. They are helped by a bevy of old vines, many 50-60+ years old, that have long ago tapped the limestone bedrock that is the signature of this famed village. The vines are meticulously worked and tended during the growing season, as naturally and respectfully as possible. “We are 100% organic from the flowering on”, says Anne Sigaut, “and before that, we intervene only when absolutely necessary if it is a question of saving the harvest. We also time our work in the vineyards and cellar to follow the cycles of the moon”. In recent years, Anne admits to hiring mostly women in the vines because their hands are often smaller and able to do more detailed work. At the harvest, like most top estates now in Burgundy, the crew picks carefully by hand, with a sorting both in the vineyard and in the cellar on a triage table. The grapes are then de-stemmed and fermented with indigenous yeasts with a gentle regime of maceration over the 3 week cuvaison. The wines are then pressed and moved by gravity to barrel for ageing in 10-25% new oak, depending on the cuvée. The wines stay in barrel in general for 15-16 months, and are then racked by gravity to tank where they are held for a couple of months to harmonize and clarify naturally before a bottling without fining and filtration. If you love “true” Chambolle, you will fall in love with these wines, just as we have. And at such impressive values, you can’t afford to not to!

The dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, Pinot Noir is now adopted and adored in wine regions all over the world. The variety’s elusive charm has carried it to all manner of vineyards around the world and as of 2016, it was the sixth most-planted grape variety (Wine Searcher, 2025).
Chambolle-Musigny is a tiny commune in the Côte de Nuits sub-region of Burgundy. It has a population of fewer than 400, but enjoys an historic and widespread reputation for its high-quality wines. The village produces almost exclusively red wines from Pinot Noir (Wine Searcher, 2025).
