NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine is a remarkable example of a Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru from the esteemed Domaine Stephane Magnien.It brings the epitome of elegance and complexity that is expected from this prestigious appellation.
On the nose, this wine offers a captivating bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, intertwined with delicate floral notes of violets and roses. There is also a subtle hint of earthiness, reminiscent of forest floor and truffles, adding depth and intrigue.
The palate is equally impressive, with a harmonious balance between the fruit, acidity, and tannins. The red fruit flavors persist, accompanied by nuances of black tea, spices, and a touch of smokiness. The texture is velvety and refined, with a long and lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression.
This Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is a wine of great finesse and sophistication, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of Domaine Stephane Magnien. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully for many years, allowing its complexity to further develop.
