Natural cork. Leroux’s Charmes-Chambertin is traditionally drawn from 0.15 hectares of vines planted in 1965. Leroux’s historic source is situated in Mazoyères-Dessus, the favoured, top part of this vineyard, near Combottes and the Grand Cru Latricières-Chambertin. This year sees the addition of a parcel of fruit from Charmes-Chambertin proper, so it’s a blend of both sections of the vineyard. As per last year, the 2021 fermented with one-third whole bunches. Tasted from barrel, it’s an extremely stylish Grand Cru, both deep and elegant, with marvellous perfume, length and powdery structure.

Reviews

“Fine bright purple, with some sensuality to the bouquet., though not so much detail showing. The Charmes style of raspberries and cream shows up more behind. Fair length.”
91-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
“The 2021 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a wonderful bouquet with fragrant red cherry and crushed strawberry scents. It's floral, sensual and much more vivacious than, say, the Bonnes-Mares. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. It's very elegant in style and poised, with ample weight on the finish. This is an enticing Charmes-Chambertin that should give a couple of decades' drinking pleasure.”
93-95 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“This is a combination of Charmes and Mazoyères fruits, and it is a forward, fruit-driven wine. Black cherries lace with bold spice and a whiff of cocoa. While the aroma profile is graciously Charmes, there is underlying fruit power and dense structure led by grainy tannins. Best not to open this for a few years.”
