Domaine Christian Clerget Les Charmes Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru 2007

The Les Charmes Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru is a formidable classic. It lives up to its name and is an example of the best that Burgundy has to offer. Its refined elegance lies on a foundation of a fleshy, concentrated palate and, when still young, assertive tannins that mellow with age. Full bodied and round, the wine delivers an explosion of red berries.

These six hectares are concentrated around the estate’s fermentation cellar in Vougeot in the Cote de Nuits. The Clerget estate has seen four generations of winegrowers in their vineyards of Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-St-Denis, Vougeot and Vosne-Romanee, where Pinot Noir grapes reach the pinnacle of their glory. Christian and Isabelle Clerget live within the heart of their vineyard, in harmony with their land, which they consider as an extension of their garden.
