Red dry
A red Burgundy wine from the prestigious “Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru” appellation. Made from ‘Pinot Noir’ grapes, it stands out for its concentration of ripe fruit, elegance and complex structure.
The nose reveals notes of cherry, strawberry and raspberry, complemented by floral and herbal aromas, liquorice, and subtle hints of chocolate and spice. The palate is concentrated yet retains lightness and vitality. Rich fruit is balanced by refreshing acidity, while soft, silky tannins provide structure. The long finish reveals lingering notes of red fruit, spice and minerality.
“Charmes-Chambertin” is one of the Grand Cru vineyards of Gevrey-Chambertin, located downslope from “Chambertin” and characterised by a combination of limestone, marl and shallow soils. These conditions help preserve the wine’s structure and freshness, while ‘Pinot Noir’ expresses the aromatic complexity typical of the site.
The 2022 vintage offers an excellent balance of concentration and freshness. It can be enjoyed now, given time to open up in the glass, but a few additional years in the bottle should reveal even greater aromatic depth and complexity.
Serve at a temperature of 16–17 °C; pair with beef tenderloin seasoned with truffles and wild mushrooms, or slow-braised veal with shallots.
Domaine Tortochot is a family-owned winery in Burgundy with a history dating back to the 19th century. The estate is located in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, in the Côte de Nuits, an area renowned for its structured, complex and age-worthy ‘Pinot Noir’ wines. Today, the winery is run by Chantal Michel Tortochot, a fourth-generation winemaker who continues the family tradition and places great emphasis on expressing the individual character of each vineyard parcel.
Gabriel Tortochot holds an important place in the family’s history. He actively contributed to defending the interests of Burgundy’s grape growers and promoting the region’s principles of wine origin and quality. Today, the estate’s portfolio includes regional and village-level wines, as well as Premier Cru and Grand Cru cuvées that express the character of Burgundy’s distinct climats – individual vineyard sites with their own specific characteristics.
Since 2008, the vineyards have been managed according to organic viticulture principles. The soil is cultivated mechanically, cover cropping is practised, and alternative methods are used instead of chemical herbicides. These practices help preserve soil vitality and the vineyard ecosystem.
The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected. Fermentation takes place using indigenous yeasts, while extraction is carefully controlled to preserve the fruit expression and achieve the desired structure. The wines are aged in French oak barrels, with the proportion of new oak adjusted according to the wine’s classification and individual cuvée. Ageing generally lasts 15–18 months. The estate avoids fining and filtration in order to preserve the wines’ character.
Domaine Tortochot’s wines focus on the expression of ‘Pinot Noir’, lively acidity, tannic structure and the distinctive character of each vineyard site. Rather than seeking to standardise each vintage, the estate aims to convey the conditions of each location and growing season, combining the power of Gevrey-Chambertin with elegance and the nuances of terroir.
