Charmes-ChambertinGrand Cru
Maison Morey Blanc
- Wine Red- Classification : Grand Cru

Charmes is the largest Grand Cru in Chambertin, covering over 27 hectares. The soil is composed of dark brown earth with silt and Bathonian scree in the upper part, while deeper layers consist of Bajocian limestone from the Jurassic period, rich in fossils.
With a bright morello cherry-red hue, this Grand Cru boasts an exceptionally elegant and silky texture, combining the subtlety and complexity of raspberry and redcurrant, sometimes evolving towards stone fruit and spices. The tannins are harmonious and refined, offering great delicacy and beautiful complexity. Its voluptuous flesh ensures excellent aging potential.

Tasting notes
Burgundy Report – Bill Nanson 2025-10
“2nd vintage of one barrel…
Dark, fluid, beautifully perfumed. Hmm, juicy, mouth-watering, more mineral than generous. Beautiful Charmes…”
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy 2025-10
“Mid crimson, pretty light red berry fruit, some crunch, it does have much of the class of Charmes-Chambertin albeit in a softer framework. Fair depth. Drink from 2030-2035.”
The Burgundy Briefing – Sarah Marsh MW – Winter 2013
“Perfumed and spicy. Juicy and vibrant attack. It is lively on the palate. Decent concentration and good typicity.”
