Philippe Charlopin's Grand Cru red wines represent the pinnacle of his rich, seductive winemaking style, heavily inspired by his mentor, the legendary Henri Jayer. Sourced from prestigious Grand Cru parcels in the Côte de Nuits—including Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, and Clos de Vougeot—these wines are celebrated for their opulent fruit, velvety texture, and seamless integration of new French oak. Charlopin employs low yields, complete destemming, and a cold pre-fermentation maceration to extract intense color and aromatics without harsh tannins. The history of these ancient vineyards dates back to medieval monastic orders like the Cistercians, who meticulously mapped the Burgundy terroirs. Charlopin's Grand Crus beautifully marry this historic terroir with a modern, luscious expression of Pinot Noir.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1977 by Philippe Charlopin with just 1.5 hectares of inherited vines, Domaine Philippe Charlopin-Parizot has grown into a highly respected estate based in Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy. Under the early mentorship of the legendary Henri Jayer, Philippe adopted a philosophy focused on low yields, complete destemming, and cold maceration, resulting in rich, voluptuous, and deeply expressive wines. Today, Philippe is joined by his son Yann, who oversees the white wine vinification, managing over 25 hectares of exceptional vineyards across the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Chablis. The domaine is highly acclaimed for its lush, velvety Pinot Noirs—including old-vine village and Grand Cru expressions—as well as its precise, elegant Chardonnays.
