Varietal

Pinot Noir.

Tasting notes

Visual: Elegant Ruby Red.

Nose: A rich and powerfull bouquet offering notes of red fruits and spices.

Palate: A round, rich and complex wine with attractive liveliness and distinguished tannins. Well balanced, complex with a long persistency.

Food and wine pairing

This Grand Cru will be ideal served with poultry, such as a honey-roasted duck, roasted meat and game. Charmes Chambertin also goes well with mushrooms (omelette with ceps or truffles), famous Burgundian dishes (Burgundy beef stew, coq au vin) and local cheese, particularly Époisses.

Serving suggestions

Serve ideally at around 16°C (61°F) to respect its complex aromas and reveal its subtle spicy notes.

Ageing potential

8 to 10 years even more in good cellaring conditions.

Origins

Listed as "Grand Cru" from the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy, this appellation is located in the small but famous village of Gevrey Chambertin.

The vineyard is located below another "Grand Cru", Chambertin, on the southernmost part of the Gevrey Chambertin appellation.

"Grand Cru’" is the highest distinction for Burgundy appellations. "Grands Cru" wines originate from the best vineyards in each area and represent just 1% of the total production of Burgundy wines.

Gevrey Chambertin counts nine ‘Grand Cru’ appellation areas. Charmes-Chambertin is widely considered to be one of the best of these and is also the largest, covering some 31 hectares.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes are hand harvested, entirely destemmed and vatted by means of gravity.
Maceration lasts around 3 weeks with more or less frequent cap trading “by foot”.
The wine is matured for 15 months in casks (20% new wood).

The Weather: Uncertain conditions, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds. The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
