RATINGS

91Stephen Tanzer

Subtly complex nose melds musky strawberry, cherry, dried flowers and smoke. With very good life and minty lift to the flavors of red fruits, flowers and game. Finishes with substantial broad, dusty tannins and good lift.

18Jancis Robinson

Perfumed and so luscious – positively succulent. Pretty tough tannins underneath but the fruit manage to distract from them.

... elegant with its strikingly pretty red pinot fruit aromas that possess fine density and this sense of concentration can also be found on the complex, supple and balanced flavors supported by a finely textured finish...

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits Villages, Gevrey-Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin

Charmes-Chambertin is a 78-acre Grand Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin that traditionally includes the acreage of nearby Mazoyeres-Chambertin. For nearly 200 years the growers of Mazoyeres have been legally allowed to sell their wines under the more famous name of Charmes-Chambertin, and virtually all of them do. Charmes-Chambertin is the largest of the Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Crus, and it generally has an excellent reputation. The slope of the vineyard is gentle and the surface soil poor. But producers including Joseph Roty, Christian Serafin, Domaine Dujac, Faiveley and Joseph Drouhin are acclaimed for their Charmes Chambertin. Principal landholders are Camus, with 14.75 acres; Perrot-Minot, 4 acres; and Armand Rousseau, 3.5 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
