The color is vibrant, an intense deep ruby red, reminiscent of black cherries. The nose is floral, dominated by notes of rose and violet. On the palate, the wine reveals its full power: a full-bodied and complex structure, ample, with aromas of spices, licorice, ripe black fruits, and blackcurrant.
The Charmes-Chambertin appellation, established in 1937, spans a 27.54-hectare vineyard, perched between 240 and 280 meters in altitude with an east-facing exposure. This unique terroir consists of a very thin layer of clay soil covering ancient rocks, including Bathonian limestone, marl, and Jurassic limestone, giving the wine an exceptional character. The vineyard’s steep slope and diverse soils also contribute to the richness and complexity of this Grand Cru, which is exclusively vinified from Pinot Noir.
The 2023 vintage in Burgundy is remarkable, even surpassing the excellence of 2022, thanks to a warm yet slightly more humid summer. This year has allowed for the creation of powerful, well-balanced wines with exceptional aromatic complexity, blending fruitiness, freshness, and minerality.
This vintage promises wines of impressive purity and concentration, with excellent aging potential (10 to 20 years without issue).
At the table, this Charmes-Chambertin 2023 will pair perfectly with bold dishes, particularly meats such as game (venison or wild boar). It will also complement lamb, coq au vin, or poultry.
For cheese pairings, opt for washed-rind cheeses such as Époisses, Langres, Vacherin, or Soumaintrain.
