Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru René Bouvier (Domaine) 2017

The wine

René Bouvier's Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is one of those deep wines that has layers and true maturity. Its long-lasting aromatic finish is testimony to its great quality and if you are in no hurry you could keep it until 2030. It is aged for 18 months in barrels of which 50% are new wood.

About the Producer René Bouvier

In the family for 3 generations, Domaine René Bouvier is today run by Bernard Bouvier. It has 17 hectares of vines and 18 appellations, ranging from Marsannay to Gevrey-Chambertin. The domaine covers, like many wine growers in the region, a wide range of grand crus, premier crus, villages and regional appellations. Despite the differences, the entire range has been certified organic since 2013. The age of the vines (up to 90 years old) gives these wines a complex character. This area has made considerable progress in recent years, notably thanks to finer extractions than before.
