The 2010 Olivier Bernstein Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is an elegant and expressive Pinot Noir from one of Gevrey-Chambertin's largest and most approachable Grand Cru vineyards. Crafted from a blend of parcels in both Charmes-Chambertin and Mazoyères-Chambertin, it offers a silky texture, vibrant red fruit, and remarkable balance. Critics have noted its good dark red color and utterly captivating scents of dark raspberry, coffee, mocha, game, musky underbrush, and rose petal. It is described as sweet-verging-on-decadent, with outstanding volume and 'gras' yet superb inner-mouth tension and digestibility. Some reviews highlight soft wood notes framing cool, pure, and elegant red and dark berry fruit, with warm earth nuances leading to a rich, vibrant, and long finish. While some find it modern and extracted, almost like a young Bordeaux, others appreciate its luscious floral, red berry, and subtly oaked wood notes with soft texture and balanced tannins. Food Pairing: This elegant Grand Cru Burgundy pairs beautifully with roast duck, veal tenderloin, mushroom risotto, and aged Burgundian cheeses. It also complements beef, poultry, and game birds. Fit for Event: 【The most charming and approachable of the Gevrey Grand Crus】, this wine is ideal for lovers of elegant Grand Cru Burgundy and fans of silky, red-fruited Pinot Noir. It's a superb choice for a sophisticated dinner party, a special anniversary celebration, or for collectors seeking approachable yet age-worthy wines. Given its age, it's advisable to handle the bottle gently, as older corks can be fragile. Decanting for 30-60 minutes before serving can allow its complex aromas to fully unfold, but be mindful of very old wines which might be more fragile and benefit from less aeration.
