Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru

Tasting

Our Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru features aromas of raspberry, redcurrant and violet. A few years in the cellar will allow these initial aromas to acquire more animal and spicy notes, while maintaining remarkable freshness. The palate is a skilful blend of power, elegance and voluptuousness.

Food/wine pairing

Ideal with red meats, big game, and ripe or full-flavoured cheeses.
