🏰 The 2020 Burgundy vintage is widely celebrated as exceptional, defying expectations of a hot and sunny growing season by producing remarkably fresh, pure, elegant, and focused wines. Winemakers, including Arnaud Mortet, achieved a surprising balance with good acidity, despite early harvests. Arnaud Mortet's Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2020 displays an intense ruby-red hue with violet highlights, indicative of its youth and concentration. The nose is pure and airy, revealing red fruit notes, particularly cherry, alongside floral hints of violet and iris, characteristic of the appellation's perfumed dimension. The palate is medium-bodied with silky, cashmere-like tannins, offering red fruit, subtle spice, and minerality, culminating in a remarkably long and elegant finish with lingering freshness. Arnaud Mortet, who took over the family estate in 2006, has expanded its reach, contributing to the estate's reputation for combining purity and elegance in its Grand Crus. 【This Burgundian Grand Cru combines purity and elegance from the exceptional 2020 vintage, with significant cellaring potential.】 🍴 This Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is an ideal match for grilled or sauced game meats, such as roasted duck or venison, as well as refined beef preparations like beef Wellington or coq au vin.
