2008  

Charmes Chambertin is made from Pinot Noir grapes only.

This appellation is listed as Grand Cru from Côte de Nuits, located in Gevrey Chambertin. The vineyard is located below another Grand Cru, Chambertin, on the southernmost part of the Gevrey Chambertin appellation. Covering 30.83 hectares, it is the largest Gevrey Grand Cru. Its particular characteristic is that it covers part of a neighbouring Grand Cru appellation, that of the Mazoyères-Chambertin.

The name "Charmes" comes from a copse of hornbeams ("charme" in French) planted by monks many centuries ago, which is no longer there.

Colour: deep ruby with violet tints.
Nose: powerful and rich with notes of blood orange liqueur, spices, tangerine peel, fresh hazelnut, liquorice and violet.
Palate: round, rich and complex with attractive liveliness and tannins that are very distinguished. Well balanced, complex with a long persistency on the palate.

This Charmes Chambertin will go perfectly with honey-roasted duck. It is also ideal served with poultry, roasts and game. Charmes Chambertin also goes well with cheese, particularly Epoisses.

Serve at around 16-17 °C.
