Domaine Lignier-Michelot - Charmes-Chambertin 2016 (1.5L)

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Charmes-Chambertin is an Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) and Grand Cru vineyard for red wine in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy, with Pinot noir as the main grape variety. It is located in the southern part of the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin and on the lower hillside east of Chambertin (on the other side of the Route des Grands Crus), north of Mazoyères-Chambertin and south of Griotte-Chambertin. The AOC was created in 1937.

The 2016 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru is aged in one-year-old barrels with 100% whole-cluster fruit. It has an intense bouquet with vivid black cherries, blueberry, soy and graphite (indeed, there was something almost Right Bank Bordeaux about this Burgundy!). The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and focused, not as complex as some of the best examples that I have encountered this vintage but refined and elegant on the finish, which sports a dash of white pepper. Very fine.
