2021 Domaine Rene Bouvier Gevrey Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 1 x 6 (in bond)

Located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the Charmes-Chambertin vineyard is renowned for producing wines of exceptional finesse, elegance, and depth. This Grand Cru bottling showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of Domaine René Bouvier, combining tradition with a commitment to expressing the purest character of the terroir.

The vines, deeply rooted in limestone-rich soils, benefit from optimal exposure, allowing for the slow and even ripening of grapes. This results in a wine that reflects the nuanced minerality and complex structure synonymous with Charmes-Chambertin.

The 2021 Domaine René Bouvier Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru reveals an enchanting bouquet of black cherries, wild strawberries, and blackberries, with hints of rose petals, crushed herbs, and a subtle note of smoked earth. 

On the palate, the wine is balanced, with a velvety texture that complements its vibrant acidity. Juicy red and black fruit flavours dominate the mid-palate, enhanced by undertones of truffle, forest floor, and a refined mineral streak. The tannins are silky yet firm, providing structure and longevity, while the finish lingers with notes of blackcurrant, cloves, and a touch of cedar.

This is a wine of exceptional aging potential.

 Best paired with roasted game, duck breast, or slow-cooked lamb
