Vintage Character Domaine Château de Charodon Beaune ‘Les Chouacheux’ Premier Cru 2023 is a delicate yet expressive Pinot Noir that highlights the finesse of this lesser known Premier Cru vineyard. The 2023 vintage in Burgundy is noted for producing wines of freshness, aromatic lift, and fine balance, with moderate alcohol and vibrant acidity ensuring both charm and longevity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this wine offers lifted aromas of cranberry, redcurrant, and rose petals, underpinned by a subtle chalky minerality. The palate is elegant and precise, with fine tannins, a refreshing texture, and a finish that lingers gracefully on red fruit and floral notes. Its versatility makes it a seamless partner for Cantonese style roast goose, seared tuna, or a soft ripened cheese like Chaource, each pairing enhancing its refined profile.
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 bridges Burgundian tradition with modern precision. The domaine functions as a small négociant vigneron, working with carefully chosen parcels across the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Sustainable viticulture, meticulous fruit selection, and restrained oak use are central to the philosophy, ensuring purity of fruit and clarity of terroir. Les Chouacheux, a site rarely seen on labels, consistently delivers wines of subtlety and finesse in Vallet’s hands, appealing to those who value elegance over sheer power.
