NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine is a remarkable example of a Grand Cru from the Charmes Chambertin vineyard in the Burgundy region of France.On the nose, one can expect a complex 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 damp forest floor, adding depth and intrigue to the aromatic profile.
The palate is equally impressive, showcasing a harmonious balance between fruit, acidity, and tannins. The red fruit flavors persist, accompanied by nuances of black tea, spices, and a touch of smokiness. The wine's structure is elegant yet powerful, with a velvety texture that coats the mouth and a long, lingering finish.
This Grand Cru is best enjoyed after a few years of cellaring to allow its flavors to fully develop. It pairs wonderfully with rich dishes such as roasted game birds, beef tenderloin, or aged cheeses. The wine's complexity and finesse make it a true delight for any wine enthusiast.
