Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru AOC - François Feuillet

The barrel-aged Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru from the Burgundy winegrowing region shows a bright light red in the glass. With a little sideways exposure, the red wine glass reveals a charming garnet red hue at the rims. Swiveling the wine glass, one can perceive a first-rate balance in this red wine, as it does not stand out as watery or syrupy or liqueur-like on the glass walls. Poured into a red wine glass, this Old World red wine shows wonderfully expressive aromas of blackberry and plum, rounded out by other fruity nuances contributed by barrel aging.

The François Feuillet Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru presents itself to the wine drinker wonderfully dry. This red wine never shows itself coarse or meager, as one might expect from a wine icon wine segment. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully dense. In the finish, this mature red wine from the wine-growing region of Burgundy finally inspires with considerable length. Once again, hints of blackberry and plum show.

Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Frenchman breathes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underscores the success of Old World wines. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Then fermentation takes place in small wood at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the elegant Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru is aged for several months in French oak barrels.
