Everything you read about Anne and Hervé Sigaut describes them as “low-key” and “humble.” And, as is so often the case, the wines they make reflect their personalities—although humble and low-key are not the adjectives I’d use. Theirs are not showy wines, but they’re a long way from simple—refined, elegant, and nuanced would all be superior word choices. Another way to describe Sigaut’s style is to think of it as bespoke tailoring rather than designer-label flash. 
With about seven hectares of vineyards, most of them in their home base of Chambolle-Musigny, the Sigauts may be unassuming, but they’ve attracted a devoted cult following among sommeliers and collectors. Count me as a cult member—whenever we’re offered any of their wine, we greedily snap it up, and today’s silky and seductive Chambolle-Musigny amply rewarded our good faith. If ever a wine epitomized the classic character of Chambolle—perfumed, lifted, a touch savory, caressingly textured—this is it. If you are not yet familiar with the Sigauts, do yourself a favor and pick up some of this: It is a modern benchmark, plain and simple, and we can offer up to six bottles per person until our small supply disappears.
