Domaine Lucien Muzard Saint-Aubin 1er Cru ‘Sur le Sentier du Clou’ 2023
Brilliant golden colour. The nose is elegant and expressive, revealing aromas of citrus, pear and peach, underlined by a subtle floral touch. On the palate, it offers a perfect balance of freshness and enveloping texture. The finish is long and precise, marked by an intense minerality, a faithful reflection of its limestone terroir.

Located between the villages of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. The vineyard lies in the commune of Saint-Aubin at an altitude of around 300 metres, with south-east exposure and clay-limestone soils.
Malolactic fermentation takes place in winter in the estate’s underground cellars. The wine is then aged on lees for 12 months in 350-liter barrels.
The Winery
Domaine Muzard is a family-owned estate that has been producing exceptional wines for several generations. Some ancient records even identify a winemaker named Lucien Muzard as far back as 1645 in Santenay, the heart of the Côte-D’Or.
Two brothers, Claude since 1987 and then Herve three years later, take over the family estate from their father. They embark on a complete transformation to focus all 18 hectares on their passion for quality over quantity. They are both joined in 2019 by Capucine, Claude’s daughter.
Today, Muzard is known for its dedication to balancing traditional techniques with more modern and organic methods combined with a passionate commitment to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of Côte de Beaune.
Both their Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays are praised for their elegance, finesse, and expression of the region’s distinct characteristics. No wonder Domaine Muzard’s wines can be found in some of the world’s best cellars and restaurants.
