From vines planted in 1885, the 2021 Charmes-Chambertin Cuvée Très Vieilles Vignes stands as one of Burgundy’s most profound expressions of old-vine Pinot Noir. These ancient parcels, located in the heart of Charmes proper, deliver extraordinary concentration, intensity, and a haunting sense of place.
The wine opens with a moderately toasty nose of dark cherry, violet, spice, and smoked meat. The palate is dense and tightly coiled, packed with sappy extract that tempers firm, compact tannins. There’s remarkable depth and power here, yet the overall impression is one of restraint and precision. The long, mineral finish reveals the structure and age-worthiness that define this legendary cuvée.
A benchmark Grand Cru that captures both the raw power and timeless elegance of the Roty style.
“A moderately toasty nose speaks of liqueur-like aromas of dark cherry, spice, violet and a hint of smoked meat. There is impressive intensity to the dense, powerful and muscular flavors that brim with sappy dry extract that helps to buffer the firm tannins on the compact, austere and hugely long finish where the wood slowly merges.”
92–95 points, Burghound
