✨ 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
Founded in 1977 by Philippe Charlopin with only 1.5 hectares of family vineyards, Domaine Philippe Charlopin-Parizot is based in the village of Brochon within Burgundy's prestigious Côte de Nuits. Deeply influenced by his mentor, the legendary Henri Jayer, Charlopin embraced meticulous vineyard management, low yields, full destemming, and careful oak aging to craft wines of remarkable depth and purity. Over the decades, the estate has expanded to cover premier parcels across the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Chablis, now managed alongside his son Yann. The domaine is celebrated for its opulent, supple, and terroir-expressive Pinot Noirs—including coveted Grand Crus like Bonnes-Mares and Chambertin—alongside finely balanced, mineral-driven Chardonnays.
