Pierre has just 0.4 hectares in Charmes-Chambertin, which is divided into five separate parcels, two of which are on the border with Griotte-Chambertin, on more stony soils. It is tightly coiled, with some noble austerity in its youth, though there is the promise of a bright future, with the flicker of strawberry fruit and silky tannins on the palate.

The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru was a little muted on the nose when I tasted it, despite rigorous coaxing. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and lightly spiced, just a little fieriness towards the finish that leaves the tongue tingling on the aftertaste. Fine, although I would like to see more expressed aromatically.
