Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2022

The 2022 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru from Philippe Charlopin perfectly embodies the seductive nature that gives this grand cru its name. As one of Gevrey Chambertin's most approachable grand crus, this vintage shows both immediate charm and serious aging potential.

The nose is wonderfully inviting, offering a generous array of ripe red and black fruits, complemented by subtle spice notes and an underlying earthy complexity. The aromatic profile captures the warmth of the 2022 vintage while maintaining the sophistication expected of a grand cru.

On the palate, the wine displays the perfect balance between power and grace that defines great Charmes Chambertin. The texture is particularly noteworthy - silky and refined, with sophisticated tannins providing elegant structure. The warmth of 2022 has produced beautiful ripeness and concentration, while maintaining freshness and energy. The finish is long and harmonious, with waves of fruit and mineral notes that continue to unfold.

This wine brilliantly demonstrates both the natural generosity of Charmes Chambertin and Charlopin's skilled interpretation of this prestigious terroir in what was clearly an excellent vintage.
