Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru

Location

Along the Route des Grands Crus, which runs from Gevrey-Chambertin to Morey-Saint-Denis between the Combe de Lavaux and the Combe de Morey are the vineyards of this very beautiful appellation in the municipality of Gevrey.

Soil The soil is clay-limestone with a limestone dominance. At the surface, a high proportion of scree gravel gives these soils a draining character and particularly promotes grape ripening.

Grape variety 100 % Pinot Noir.

Vinification Traditional Burgundian vinification in open vats with punching down and long maceration. Aging 85% in vats and 15% in oak barrels for 10 to 12 months.

Robe Dark ruby with black cherry reflections.

Nose Nose on a base of red fruits such as raspberry and redcurrant and a floral touch like violet or rose. A few years of aging will evolve these primary aromas towards more animal and spicy scents.

Palate In the mouth, power, opulence, and elegance come together to compose the voluptuous structure of this great vintage.
