Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, indicating both maturity and concentration.
Nose: The nose is rich and inviting, with aromas of dark fruits such as black cherry, blackberry, and cassis. These are complemented by floral hints of violet and peony, alongside earthy notes of truffle, underbrush, and subtle spices like licorice and sweet spices, contributing to the wine’s aromatic complexity.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is powerful yet velvety, with fine-grained tannins that lend structure and elegance. Dark fruit flavors are balanced by spicy and mineral undertones, providing depth and a harmonious balance between fruit and earth. The finish is long and persistent, revealing further layers of complexity and a remarkable elegance.
Aging Potential
The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has an outstanding aging potential. While it can be enjoyed young to appreciate its aromatic richness and fresh fruit profile, it will continue to develop and improve with time. With 15 to 20 years of aging potential, this wine will become even more complex, revealing greater harmony, depth, and finesse as it matures.
Food Pairing
This Grand Cru pairs beautifully with rich and flavorful dishes. Ideal with red meats like beef fillet, lamb, and duck breast, it also complements mushroom-based dishes, hearty stews, and game meats. Classic Burgundy dishes such as coq au vin or boeuf bourguignon are perfect pairings, as well as aged cheeses like Comté, Brie de Meaux, or Reblochon, which highlight the wine’s depth and complexity.
