Philippe Charlopin, a protégé of the legendary Henri Jayer, crafts wines that are celebrated for their voluminous fruit and velvety tannins, embodying a hedonistic, modern style. The 2014 vintage of his Grand Crus, including Chambertin, saw a shift in winemaking, with new oak usage reduced to 40-50% from a previous 100%. The 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin wines from Charlopin were noted for being among the darkest of the vintage, some even resembling Syrah, yet the best examples showcased a penetrating Pinot minerality. This Chambertin Grand Cru from 2014 presents an intriguing profile with earthy, mineral, and leather notes, complemented by red fruit, cherry, and raspberry. Subtle hints of tobacco, butter, and dill can also be found. For a related Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2014, tasting notes describe a savory, firmly built Pinot Noir with dark cherry, earth, and woodland spice, balanced by the vintage's freshness, leading to a long, composed finish. 🍴 This powerful red Burgundy pairs beautifully with rich red meats such as duck, venison, or a classic beef bourguignon. It also harmonizes wonderfully with aged Époisses cheese. 🥂 Ideal for a significant celebration, a sophisticated dinner party, or as a prized addition to a serious wine collector's cellar. 【Protégé of the legendary Henri Jayer, known for a hedonistic, modern style with voluminous fruit and velvety tannins】.
