DOMAINE HUGUENOT - Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2020

From the 2020 vintage, this Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru from Domaine Huguenot is the very embodiment of Burgundian elegance. Crafted from old Pinot Noir vines rooted in the clay-limestone soils of Gevrey-Chambertin, this vintage combines concentration, freshness, and cellaring potential. Its aging in French oak barrels refines its structure and reveals the full richness of this exceptional terroir.
