Charmes' is derived from 'chaume' meaning stubble or thatch, indicating its origins as a grain field. Powerful and perfumed with an intense aromatic bouquet reminiscent of blackcurrants.
VINEYARDS: Gevrey-Chambertin is the most northern of the great communes of the Côte de Nuits. There are 26 Premiers Crus and 8 Grands Crus. Half of the Premiers Crus of Gevrey lie on the Grand Crus east facing slope; the other half occupy a steep, south-east facing slope, with clay soils. The Charmes Chambertin vineyard is situated on the east facing slope next to the Latricières Chambertin Grand Cru.
VINTAGE: After the challenges thrown at them in 2012, Bourgogne winemakers were hoping for a peaceful 2013. But capricious Mother Nature had other ideas. Defying all weather forecasts, she never let up. After a long winter, a gloomy spring and a fine, providential summer, for the most part, the pickers had to wait until the start of October to take up their secateurs. The consequences of the weather's whims - such as shatter and millerandage, hail damage, concentration and disease - all had an impact on the quantities harvested. Across the region, no winegrowing area was spared. Fortunately, tastings suggest that 2013 is a very successful vintage. Once again, experience has made all the difference.
WINEMAKING: This wine is fermented in vats for 3-4 weeks and aged for 18-20 months in oak barrels before bottling.
- Enjoy with:
- Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
- Casseroles/Stews
- Mild Creamy Cheeses
- Feathered Game
