Description

The Côte de Nuits is the northern half of the Côte d'Or wine region in Burgundy (the southern half being the Côte de Beaune). It specializes in red wines based on Pinot Noir, the most famous and expensive of which come from the Grands Crus of Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny. About 95% of all wines produced in Côte de Nuits come from a single grape variety: Pinot Noir. The district is widely regarded as the spiritual homeland of Pinot Noir, a reputation strongly enhanced by high-quality wines such as the Romanée-Conti Grand Cru.

Review
Of all of the Grand Crus in Gevrey-Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin is often considered to be one of the lesser offerings. That said, it comprises of around thirty hectares and there is considerable variation throughout. This wine comes from vines previously contributing to one of the most highly regarded wines from the region, from a legendary maker (incidentally, a wine which is considerably more expensive than this from Seguin). The seductiveness and plush, generous fruit for which Chames is known is on display here, and this is only enhanced by the quality of the 2022 vintage, itself forward, generous and richly flavoured. A purple maroon hue, the nose offers notes of spices, herbs, leather, florals, animal skins, dark cherries and cranberries. It is finely balanced, with a supple and rather gorgeous texture. Oak integration is still in process and the wine will be better if it can spend another couple of years in the cellar before opening. That said, the flavours are a little more exuberant and forward than is typical in Burgundy and it will be approachable sooner than many, while still living for the best part of the next couple of decades. Impressively structured, there is a touch of milk chocolate and cassis on the palate. Fine silky tannins and excellent length complete the package. In Grand Cru terms, this is cracking value.
