Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2023
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Jadot has consistently sourced grapes from this important site just below the central Chambertin vines. The main slope is flatter, soils are deeper, and the vines tend to ripen earlier. While still quite powerful wines from Charmes tend to be supple and generous from the start with enticing floral nuances.
Harvest Note
Winter and early Spring were unusually warm and dry however March brought much-needed rainfall which led to homogenous flowering in May. Stormy weather in June was followed by mild late summer, and an unusual September heat wave. Harvest was finished on September 16th, and by picking only in the cool morning hours freshness was preserved.
Tasting Note
Supple and generous, and with luxurious cherry kirsch notes, this wine is bold yet balanced, complex yet open from the start. Wines from this terroir are charming and elegant with just a suggestion of their muscular neighbors.

In France, makes a silky, deceptively powerful wine of elegant, complex aromas and subtle, red fruit flavors, with earthy, floral, mushroom and mineral notes. In California, shows ripe, sweet characters.
