The 2022 Confuron-Cotetidot Charmes-Chambertin is a Grand Cru red Burgundy from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most recognised vineyard sites, produced by the highly regarded Confuron-Cotetidot estate in Gevrey-Chambertin, France. Crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir, this wine reflects the combination of power, structure and aromatic complexity associated with Charmes-Chambertin while retaining the estate’s traditionally styled approach to winemaking. The 2022 vintage delivered ripe fruit concentration balanced by freshness, resulting in a wine with both immediate appeal and long-term ageing potential. The nose is deep and layered, showing aromas of dark cherry, wild strawberry and black raspberry alongside notes of violet, spice, forest floor and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine but structured tannins and vibrant acidity that provide balance and length. Flavours of red and dark berry fruits unfold alongside savoury notes of dried herbs, liquorice, spice and delicate oak influence. Careful maturation enhances texture and depth without overshadowing the vineyard character, while the limestone-rich soils of Charmes-Chambertin contribute mineral precision and persistence. The wine shows both concentration and elegance, finishing long, dry and complex with lingering red fruit, spice and earthy nuances that continue to evolve in the glass.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and customers seeking a structured and cellar-worthy Pinot Noir with depth and classic Côte de Nuits character. The 2022 vintage already shows impressive balance while retaining the structure to develop additional complexity over the next 10–15 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, venison, mushroom dishes, truffle-based cuisine or aged hard cheeses.
