Vintage Character Domaine Château de Charodon Beaune ‘Les Chouacheux’ Premier Cru 2021 is a refined expression of Pinot Noir from one of Beaune’s lesser known yet highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was shaped by frost and low yields, but the resulting wines are celebrated for their freshness, moderate alcohol, and classical balance—qualities that make this a vintage prized for finesse and authenticity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this cuvée reveals aromas of redcurrant, cranberry, and wild strawberry, accented by floral notes and a gentle touch of spice. The palate is medium bodied, with lively acidity, fine grained tannins, and a chalky mineral edge that carries through to a persistent, elegant finish. Its versatility makes it a natural partner for soy braised duck, roast chicken with herbs, or a delicate Comté cheese, each pairing enhancing the wine’s graceful structure.
Winery Background Château de Charodon is the project of Louis Vallet, who established the domaine in Montagny lès Beaune after experience at his family’s estate, Domaine Pierre Bourée, in Gevrey Chambertin. Influenced by mentors such as Pascal Marchand and Bernard Zito, Vallet has developed a style that emphasizes purity of fruit, precision, and terroir transparency. The domaine works with carefully selected parcels across both the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, producing small batch wines with minimal intervention and a focus on balance. Les Chouacheux, with its lifted aromatics and delicate structure, exemplifies the estate’s philosophy of crafting wines that are both authentic to their origin and deeply pleasurable to drink.
