Domaine Gerard Raphet Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021

Domaine Gérard Raphet Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021 is an exquisitely charming, aromatically complex red Burgundy that beautifully captures the fresh essence of a classic, cooler growing season. Sourced from the estate’s remarkably old Pinot Noir vines within the highly acclaimed Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru climat, it benefits from traditional, low-intervention winemaking including indigenous yeast fermentation and zero fining or filtration. The wine presents a luminous, translucent ruby color, uncurling in the glass with beautiful aromas of fresh red cherries, wild raspberries, and herbal tea notes layered over a core of newly turned earth, wet limestone, and delicate floral undercurrents. On the palate, it is round, succulent, and seductively textured, offering a lighter yet highly elegant and savory profile backed by fine-grained tannins and vibrant, mouthwatering acidity.

Food Pairing: This elegant Grand Cru Pinot Noir pairs exquisitely with classic pan-seared duck breast, roasted pheasant with wild mushrooms, roasted veal chops, or slow-cooked coq au vin.
