Chambertin Grand Cru 2022
The 2022 Chambertin Grand Cru from Philippe Charlopin exemplifies the majestic character that has earned this vineyard its reputation as the "King of Wines." Coming from one of Burgundy's most revered grand crus, this vintage demonstrates both power and aristocratic refinement.
The nose is profound and complex, offering extraordinary depth with layers of dark fruits, exotic spices, forest floor, and sophisticated mineral notes. The aromatic profile shows remarkable precision and nobility, with the warmth of the 2022 vintage bringing additional richness while maintaining the terroir's distinctive character.
On the palate, the wine displays magnificent concentration and power while maintaining perfect equilibrium. The structure is commanding yet supremely elegant - a hallmark of great Chambertin - with refined tannins providing the architectural framework for extended cellaring. The finish is remarkably persistent and multi-layered, with waves of fruit, earth, and mineral notes that seem to last indefinitely.
This wine represents both the pinnacle of Charlopin's craftsmanship and the exceptional character of one of Burgundy's most historic and revered grand crus, showing particular brilliance in the outstanding 2022 vintage.
