Charmes-Chambertin is one of the celebrated Grands Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin in the Côte de Nuits. Its name—derived from “chaume,” meaning field—suggests an open, sunny terroir that produces generous, silky Pinot Noir. The wines are among the most seductive of all Chambertin crus, offering opulent fruit, refined tannins, and remarkable depth. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, and rose mingle with earthy undertones and subtle spice. On the palate, Charmes-Chambertin balances richness with precision, showing both structure and charm. It is accessible in youth but capable of decades of graceful aging. The best examples achieve a harmony between the power typical of Gevrey and a velvety texture that justifies its name.
