Charmes-Chambertin is a Grand Cru from the producing commune of Gevrey-Chambertin. The Grand Cru vineyard of Charmes is located below Chambertin, next to Griotte-Chambertin.
Were there ācharmesā - beech trees - growing here at one time? Or were people just referring to the characteristics of the wine? A 19th Century official document does mention the āuntilled land of charmesā.
The soil has outcroppings of limestone with thin topsoil, rocky soil with some marl.
The 2023 vintage stands out as one of the hottest years in Burgundy, surpassing even 2022. This vintage is marked by its generosity, both in quantity and quality, with consistent yields across all regions in Burgundy. The wines offer flavours of ripe red and black berries.
Producer Notes
A generous and distinctive wine, often superb. The colour is intense and bright. On the nose, the first impression that arises is that of cherry. Then, woody and fine spicy aromas appear, with an elegant hint of musk in some vintages.
The flavours are extraordinary in their richness and harmony, neither too rough nor too heavy. The architecture of the wine is held up by fine and noble tannins, giving the body a silky texture. Acidity brings energy and liveliness to the whole. The aftertaste is a pure delight.
