Case Only

Part of the constellation of great wines around Chambertin, the plot of Charmes-Chambertin that we vinify is in the Mazoyères-Chambertin climat, just on the edge of Latricières-Chambertin. The 60-year-old vines, on a 0.40 hectare plot (? 1 acre), are thus in the noble part of the vineyard. The soil consists of fine gravel on the surface, mixed with clay on a substrate of firm limestone, providing power and persistence. This Charmes-Chambertin wine has striking aromatic intensity: violet, liquorice, vanilla, quince, and red fruit. The tannins are dense but perfectly polished, and the length on the palate impresses with its persistence and the elegance of its texture. The exciting savoury finish revives the flavour. Although it can be kept for 10 to 20 years, you can drink it in the first 5 years by decanting it one hour before serving the wine. Depending on the vintage, we use 50% whole-bunch fermentation, and ageing lasts about 18 months in barrels (with 30% of new barrels). It will pair well with a seven-hour lamb, a Rossini tournedos, Chinese-style glazed pork in its juices served with a wok of vegetables, duck confit and Sarladaise potatoes, or an Epoisses cheese.

Varietal Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
