RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...smells of fresh blackberry and dark cherry mingled with licorice and laced with crushed stone, carbon, and black pepper... Fine-grained tannins are accentuated by crushed stone and fruit pit...gripping finish...

92Wine Spectator

This displays tight, well-defined aromas and flavors of seductive Pinot Noir: cherry, wild berry and a subtle gamy, woodsy accent. Powered by a firm structure and though firm and curt on the finish, this shows balance and fine length.

91-94Stephen Tanzer

...nose hints at licorice pastille, iron and smoky minerality, with a floral topnote. Very sweet on entry, then a real fruit bomb in the middle palate, with blueberry and blackberry flavors complicated by flowers and spices. Offers a captivating combination of density, definition and lift and finishes spicy and long, with very suave tannins.

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.
