✨ Technical Specifications
Philippe Charlopin's Bourgogne Rouge 'Cuvée Prestige' serves as a luxurious introduction to the estate's signature style, reflecting the profound influence of the legendary Henri Jayer. Sourced primarily from old vines planted on the clay-limestone soils bordering Gevrey-Chambertin, this cuvée receives the same meticulous craftsmanship as the domaine's prestigious Grand Crus. Following Jayer's philosophy, the grapes undergo total destemming and a cold pre-fermentation maceration to coax out intense color, pure fruit aromatics, and silky tannins. Aged in French oak barrels, this wine is celebrated for its unusually rich, supple texture and deep concentration of dark berry fruit, offering a sophisticated expression of regional Burgundy that punches far above its classification.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1977 by Philippe Charlopin with a modest 1.5-hectare parcel in Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Charlopin-Parizot has expanded to encompass 25 hectares spanning the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Chablis. Philippe Charlopin honed his craft under the mentorship of the revered Henri Jayer, deeply absorbing the master's doctrine of low yields, strict fruit selection, and complete destemming. Today co-managed alongside his son Yann, who directs white winemaking, the domaine cultivates limestone- and clay-rich terroirs using sustainable viticultural practices. In the cellar, vinification emphasizes extended cold macerations, indigenous yeast fermentation, and prolonged aging in French oak barrels without fining. The domaine's benchmark portfolio is renowned for textural density, silky tannins, and aromatic purity, anchored by premier crus like Pernand-Vergelesses and village cuvées such as Gevrey-Chambertin Terres Blanches and Vieilles Vignes, alongside celebrated Grand Cru expressions including Charmes-Chambertin, Clos Vougeot, and Chambertin.
