Vintage Character Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018 from Domaine Michel Magnien is a striking example of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, offering both power and finesse from one of the region’s most esteemed terroirs. The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a warm, sunny growing season, which led to ripe, concentrated fruit and wines of notable generosity and structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Grand Cru Pinot Noir reveals enticing aromas of wild cherry, raspberry coulis, rose petal, and subtle hints of forest floor and spice. On the palate, it is plush and expansive, with layers of red and black fruit, fine-grained tannins, and vibrant acidity that carries through a long, persistent finish. Its depth and complexity make it an ideal match for classic French cuisine such as duck breast with cherry sauce or a selection of aged Comté cheese, allowing the wine’s nuances to shine alongside refined dishes.
