This is a terrific, traditional red Burgundy from a fourth generation, family-run, organic estate. The 30 hectares of Charmes-Chambertin form the largest of Gevrey-Chambertin's nine Grand Crus, and this complex and ageworthy Pinot Noir is dense and dark and has a wonderfully unembellished sense of 'terroir' that first piqued our interest.
Owner, Domaine Henri Richard mainly produces great Pinot Noirs. Recognized for its Gevrey-Chambertin "Aux Corvées" and "Les Tuileries" as well as for its Grands Crus of Charmes-Chambertin and Mazoyères-Chambertin, the estate also offers a Marsannay "En Larrey", two Coteaux Bourguignon, an Aligoté, a Côtes de Nuits Village blanc and a Crémant de Bourgogne. Without oenological input or filtration: it is the obligation to harvest healthy and ripe grapes, to rack without pump, at the right time, to have the wine as clear as possible. In short, it's working without a net. The family obtains wines here that meet their requirements: the symbiosis of a grape variety, its terroir and a tradition.
