Charmes-Chambertin

2021
The soil that characterizes this parcel is made up of reddish-looking rendzines that tell the story of this land's thousand-year history. The soil is exquisitely fine, strewn with pebbles, sometimes marly in some areas, and dotted with rock heads. These rock formations indicate the presence of a fissured bedrock, a rich subsoil that allows the vines to root deeply, drawing in essential nutrients and minerals. Wines from this parcel boast fine, elegant tannins, red fruit notes and good structure.

If the 2021 wine year ended with a sunny summer, its beginnings were marked by two devastating waves of frost, which had a profound impact on the vines and endangered the coming harvest. That year, Burgundy enjoyed a mild winter. In spring, after heavy frosts in early April, the return of fine weather finally arrived, providing an ideal climate for flowering. A few weeks later, the start of summer is marked by heavy rain and pervasive humidity. August saw the return of dry, sunny weather for three weeks in a row, favoring optimal ripening of the fruit. At the end of September, the grapes reached perfect ripeness, triggering the start of the harvest on September 23. Production from this capricious vintage is exclusive. Evanescent, full of finesse and elegance, the wines reveal exceptional freshness and volume on the palate.
Notes de dégustation :
Fine tannins, sappy red fruit, lovely structure and harmony with impressive body on the finish. This is a very classiy, finely-chiseled Charmes -Chambertin that should give 20 years of pleasure or more. Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2020 vintage benefited from a very early harvest which began at the end of August. This exceptional vintage, produced in very small quantities due to very hot summer weather, revives the glorious past of the great Burgundies. After a wet, mild winter, the summer of 2020 was dry and hot. During this period, the vines suffered from a lack of water from flowering onwards, leading to a drop in yields. This early, sunny vintage produced some very fine wines characterized by remarkable freshness and tension, with a rare elegance of silky, refined tannins. This grandiose vintage deserves all the care of long ageing in the cellar to reveal its full potential. The ardor of this vintage and its excellent balance will also enable the wines to be enjoyed in their youth, with notes of crisp fruit complemented by floral evanescence.

Spring 2019 is marked by highly variable weather, with periods of fine weather and episodes of low temperatures. At flowering, the cool weather caused run-off and a drop in yields. After a scorching month of June followed by a hot, dry summer, the grapes ripened well and were in exceptional condition, enabling the harvest to begin under fine weather conditions on September 17. This vintage, produced in small quantities, produced wines of good concentration. With good tension and minerality, the wines produced from this vintage are rich, with good digestibility, freshness, length and persistence. The tannins are ripe and well-coated, expressing excellent balance.
Notes de dégustation :
Ripe and earthy dark berry fruit aromas. Very good freshness, outsranding intensity and concentration. Powerful and serious flavors that deliver superb length on the emphatically structured finale. Allen Meadows, Burghound

Winter and early spring 2018 were very rainy. The vines built up their water reserves to cope with the hot, sunny second half of spring. The vintage was also characterized by a particularly hot summer and dry weather. The winter's water reserves enabled the grapes to ripen well, resist the heat and develop exceptional health. The bunches were healthy and perfect for harvesting, which began on September 3. This concentrated, complex vintage has achieved excellent ripeness while retaining its freshness. The wines are distinguished by their finesse and remarkable freshness, and the palate is structured, allowing a myriad of aromas to come through - a virtuoso. This vintage is unquestionably built for laying down to reveal its full potential.
Notes de dégustation :
A mellow, easy-drinking wine with a very straightforward flavour. Very harmonious, inspired and floral, with very fine tannins. Very good persistence. La Revue du Vin de France

The 2017 wine year was marked by its superlative generosity. After a dry, cold winter, spring proved mild and rain-free. The vines enjoyed pleasant weather conditions, with above-normal temperatures. A hot, dry summer produced fruit of ideal health. Yields were very generous and grapes reached optimum ripeness, enabling the harvest to begin on September 7. The wines from the 2017 vintage are elegant and fine, with good tension, silky tannins and great aromatic complexity.
Notes de dégustation :
A cool and beatifully pure offers up a ripe and fresh array of dark berry, cherry, raspberry, spice and forest floor, herbal tea and a floral top note. A focused power on the wonderfully refreshing finish. Allen Meadows, Burghound
