2022 Charmes-Chambertin, Les Mazoyères, Grand Cru, Domaine de la Vougeraie, Burgundy

Description

From one-third of a hectare from the Mazoyères section of Charmes-Chambertin, the heart of the wine comes from old vines, the most ancient planted in 1902. Unusually, everything is destemmed; in the past it has been 100% whole-bunch, but volumes were too big this year. The wine is tighter and harder to read than usual, but remarkably serious for a Charmes. Drink 2030-2045.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
