Domaine Philippe Charlopin – Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru – Red – 2022:

 

Domaine Philippe Charlopin-Parizot Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru: The Apex of Pinot Noir

Experience one of the most celebrated and profound expressions of Pinot Noir from the hallowed grounds of the Côte de Nuits. The Charlopin-Parizot Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a monumental wine, skillfully blending the muscular power typical of the Morey-Saint-Denis section with the refined elegance of Chambolle-Musigny. This is not just a wine; it is a cellar centerpiece, demanding respect and time to reveal its true, layered complexity.

Tasting Profile

• Color: Deep, brilliant ruby red.
• Nose: An intense, captivating bouquet of ripe black and red fruits (black cherry, cassis), layered with signature notes of violet, damp earth, graphite, and evolving truffle.
• Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated. The structure is built upon fine yet firm tannins that require years to integrate, leading to a fleshy, silky texture and an incredibly long, persistent finish. This wine offers a perfect balance of power and finesse.

Pairing & Service Suggestions

Serve this Grand Cru at 60-64°F (16-18°C). We recommend decanting younger vintages for 2-3 hours to allow the tannins to soften, or opening mature bottles well in advance.

• Pairings: Roasted Venison Loin with Morel Sauce, Pan-Seared Duck Breast, Prime Rib Roast, or strong, earthy cheeses like aged Gouda or Blue Cheese.
