Vintage Character Domaine Château de Charodon Côte de Nuits‑Villages Rouge 2022 is a Pinot Noir that captures the character of the Côte de Nuits’ lesser‑known but highly expressive terroirs. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was widely regarded as excellent, thanks to a warm, dry summer tempered by cooler nights, producing ripe, generous fruit with freshness and precision.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This wine opens with aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and subtle violet, accented by a touch of spice and earth. On the palate, it is supple and medium‑bodied, with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a mineral edge that reflects the limestone‑rich soils of the region. The finish is elegant and persistent, making it a versatile partner for dishes such as roast chicken with thyme, grilled duck breast, or a classic beef bourguignon, while a pairing with Camembert cheese highlights its silky texture and fruit purity.
Winery Background Château de Charodon is the project 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 and Côte de Nuits. 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.
