Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru AC Grand Cru 0.75L

Charmes-Chambertin is one of the great names of Burgundy — a Grand Cru from the heart of the Côte de Nuits, whose reputation is based on centuries of viticulture. François Feuillet cultivates parcels here on that lime-rich, iron-oxide-containing soil that gives the Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin its unmistakable density and at the same time its silky structure.

In the glass, this Pinot Noir shows the typical depth of a Gevrey Grand Cru: ripe black cherry and blackberry, underlined by roses, fine licorice, and a mineral undertone that reminds one of fresh earth after the rain. The tannins are present but fine-grained — not pressure, but contour. The finish is long, slightly spicy, with a hint of violets.

It is best to drink it at 16–17 °C, after a short decanting time of 30 to 45 minutes. At the table, it pairs well with wild boar loin with cranberry jus, partridge, or a ripe Époisses — classic Burgundy cuisine that gives the wine the space it deserves.
