Always very elegant and sometimes too round and charming, I try to show in this wine more freshness brought by the whole clusters, which bring out the sappiness of this terroir. I like to explain that I try to stretch the wine with the minerality from the stems and to give long length.

FOR THE 2016 VINTAGE
The 2016 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru includes 70% whole cluster, the highest of the domaine’s cuvées, in order to capture its freshness. That comes through on the nose: black fruit mixed with black truffle and hints of autumn leaves.
