2023 Domaine Morey-Blanc Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Sourced from the esteemed Grand Cru vineyard of Charmes-Chambertin in the Côte de Nuits, this wine represents one of the most elegant and approachable expressions among Burgundy’s top-tier Pinot Noir sites. The vineyard’s well-drained limestone and marl soils contribute to both finesse and depth, while its favorable exposure allows for consistent ripening.

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before fermentation with native yeasts, often incorporating a portion of whole clusters to enhance aromatic complexity and structure. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels—typically with a measured percentage of new oak—for around 14–18 months, adding layers of spice and texture while preserving the purity of the fruit.
