Vintage Character Domaine Château de Charodon Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2023 is a Pinot Noir from one of Gevrey Chambertin’s most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards, renowned for producing wines that combine both power and elegance. The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was shaped by a warm summer punctuated by timely rains, yielding ripe fruit with supple tannins and balanced freshness. Charmes Chambertin, with its limestone and marl subsoils topped by stony, well drained earth, imparts both depth and finesse, and this cuvée reflects the vineyard’s hallmark charm. Expect aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and rose petal, layered with hints of spice, earth, and a touch of smoke.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The palate is silky yet structured, with vibrant acidity and a long, perfumed finish that lingers gracefully. This Grand Cru pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roast venison with juniper, beef Wellington, or truffle infused poultry, while Époisses cheese enhances its savory complexity and depth.
Winery Background Château de Charodon is the creation of Louis Vallet, a third generation Burgundian whose family heritage is rooted in Domaine Pierre Bourée in Gevrey Chambertin. Based in Montagny lès Beaune, Vallet established Château de Charodon as a négociant house, sourcing fruit from carefully chosen parcels across the Côte d’Or, including prestigious Grand Cru sites. Influenced by mentors such as Pascal Marchand and Bernard Zito, Vallet’s philosophy emphasizes purity, balance, and drinkability, producing wines that are expressive of terroir while remaining approachable. His approach combines traditional Burgundian craftsmanship with modern sensibility, resulting in wines that are generous, precise, and crafted with respect for the land
