At the heart of Burgundy's prestige lie its renowned vineyards, which have garnered global acclaim for their exceptional wines. The names that resonate in the world of Burgundy are Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Georges Roumier. These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.
Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Vinous (90)Medium red. Strawberry liqueur, dried rose and peppery herbs on the nose. Silky in texture but a bit backward and medicinal, even rustic, offering cranberry, spice and herb flavors and a slight peppery greenness. I find this a bit herbal and shallow for grand cru. Needs time but will it blossom and fill out? Nicely delineated and aromatic but lacks the depth and full ripeness of the best wines here in 2014. This parcel located just below Chambertin is part of Faiveley's acquisition of Domaine Dupont-Tisserandot in late 2013. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from a single hectare that came from Faiveley’s purchase of Dupont-Tisserandot. The parcels lie right across the road from Chambertin, and the vines are around 70 years old, although they were due to be pulled up the week after my visit, since they are becoming unproductive. This has a slightly smudged, floral bouquet that gains clarity with aeration, but does not quite have the delineation of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and good grip, quite Mazoyères-like in terms of structure, and an attractive spicy finish. It maybe just lacks the finesse of the very finest Charmes-Chambertins. |

Jancis Robinson (18)Charmes and Mazoyères. Barrel sample – taken from a new barrel (70% new for the grands crus though they are starting to reduce this). Sweet oaky spice adding to the fruit spice. Thick texture from the oak but under that is a well of lovely fruit. Chewy texture. Not notably fresh but balanced and likely to ‘stretch’ and freshen with longer élevage. A powerhouse. |

Jancis Robinson (17.5)Barrel sample. Mid crimson. Less sweet-smelling than the Clos de Vougeot, with plenty of open, dark-red fruit and also a light herbal note, which lifts it and adds freshness. Firm and dry on the palate, dry yet elegant, the fruit filling out the core. Chalk-fine texture. A little constrained at the moment. |

Vinous (91+)(a blend of Charmes and Mazoyères): Dark red. In a very ripe style (as usual for this cuvée, notes Magnien), hinting at black cherry, licorice pastille and damp earth. Quite rich and deep; this wine might well offer early appeal just for its atypical sweetness but its powerful, rather monolithic tannins shut down the fruit on the back end. |

Wine Advocate (89)The 2014 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a powerful nose with broody dark berry, cola-tinged fruit that need more delineation and terroir-expression--the winemaking comes through a little strongly here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, quite plush tannin and a little more...decorum...than the aromatics, as if it has just remembered that it is a Grand Cru. I appreciate the focus here on the finish; I just wish the aromatics could muster more sophistication. |

Presenting Geantet-Pansiot Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2015, a truly remarkable venture into the world of Burgundian excellence. This illustrious wine has been created in the celebrated vineyards of Charmes-Chambertin, birthed in the rich, clay-limestone soils known for producing remarkable vintages. Painstakingly curated by prodigious winemaker Vincent Geantet, each bottle encapsulates a legacy stretching back to 1954. The vineyard practices traditional viticulture, ensuring both harmony and respect for nature. This exquisite red melds power and intensity with finesse and elegance effortlessly.

Jancis Robinson (17.5)Barrel sample. Mid crimson. Less sweet-smelling than the Clos de Vougeot, with plenty of open, dark-red fruit and also a light herbal note, which lifts it and adds freshness. Firm and dry on the palate, dry yet elegant, the fruit filling out the core. Chalk-fine texture. A little constrained at the moment. |

Wine Advocate (93-95)Aromas of cassis, orange rind, smoked meats and loamy soil introduce Faiveley's 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, layered and demonstrative wine that's concentrated and succulent, with an ample core of ripe fruit framed by velvety tannins and lively acids. This is another especially fine cuvée this year. |

Vinous (91+)(a blend of Charmes and Mazoyères): Dark red. In a very ripe style (as usual for this cuvée, notes Magnien), hinting at black cherry, licorice pastille and damp earth. Quite rich and deep; this wine might well offer early appeal just for its atypical sweetness but its powerful, rather monolithic tannins shut down the fruit on the back end. |

Wine Advocate (89)The 2014 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a powerful nose with broody dark berry, cola-tinged fruit that need more delineation and terroir-expression--the winemaking comes through a little strongly here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, quite plush tannin and a little more...decorum...than the aromatics, as if it has just remembered that it is a Grand Cru. I appreciate the focus here on the finish; I just wish the aromatics could muster more sophistication. |

Vinous (90)The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is closed on the nose, even a little broody, offering dark berry fruit, cola and light undergrowth scents. It does not quite deliver the complexity of its peers. The palate is chewy and simple for a Grand Cru, with high-toned red fruit, but it just lacks elegance and precision on the finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. |
