This wine offers scents of mixed black fruits, black truffle, andhints of autumn leaves. The palate is medium-bodied with firm and slightly brittle tannins.
This parcel is situated at the top of the Charmes Chambertin terroir called “Aux Charmes”. It’s exactly in front of the border between Latricières Chambertin and the famous Chambertin. Up-slope, the rocks are of Bathonien origin, lower down the marls and limestones belong to the Jurassic (Bajocian), and numerous marine fossils can be found on the surface, recalling the sea which covered this area some 150 million years ago.
Only 1650 bottles, 72 magnums and 3 jeroboams produced for the 2018 vintage
