The nose is immediately captivating, offering a generous array of red and black fruits, interwoven with subtle spices and delicate floral notes characteristic of Charmes Chambertin.

The warmth of 2022 has contributed beautiful ripeness and concentration while preserving terroir transparency. The finish is long and harmonious, with waves of fruit and mineral notes that continue to unfold.
