RATINGS

95Wine Spectator

A fragrant style, featuring sandalwood, rose, olive and sweet berry aromas and flavors. Elegant and complex, with fine harmony... Shows finesse and a terrific aftertaste.

91The Wine Advocate

The palate is medium-bodied with evidence of some whole-bunch fruit, well-judged acidity and a slightly stalky but balanced finish. It actually is not a million miles away from Dujac in style.

89-92Burghound.com

...medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a well-detailed, delicious, reasonably complex and well-balanced finish that displays excellent persistence.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Such an intoxicating aroma – both lively and luxurious, generous and pure fruited but not simple. Elegant and finely textured, real finesse even now. Long and scented to the finish. Delicious even in its infancy.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, 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.
