CHARMES- CHAMBERTIN Grand Cru
2018
- Description of the appellation
The iron ore contained in the soil was once sent to Langres to be processed for the manufacture of knives. This climate is said to have the oldest vine in the commune, planted in 1881. It is located on limestone outcrops covered with thin red soil. There are marls, iron and numerous pebbles, some of which are quite large. The rocky subsoil is very resistant but well fissured, which allows the vine roots to plunge deep into it, hence their astonishing longevity. Some plots can reach up to 100 years.
- Etymology
In Burgundian dialect, Charmes refers to former common fields that were cultivated and turned into wasteland or wasteland covered with hornbeam woods.
