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.

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).

Vintage : 2023

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
