The Hubert Lignier Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2020 is an extraordinary wine from one of Burgundy’s most iconic Grand Cru vineyards. Charmes-Chambertin, located in Gevrey-Chambertin, is celebrated for producing wines that blend power with elegance, and Hubert Lignier’s meticulous approach ensures a truly authentic and expressive interpretation of this hallowed terroir. The 2020 vintage, with its warm growing season and excellent balance of ripeness and freshness, has produced wines of exceptional concentration and longevity.

In the glass, the Charmes-Chambertin 2020 reveals a complex aromatic profile, with vibrant red and black fruits—wild strawberry, black cherry, and cassis—complemented by floral notes of violets and hints of sweet spices such as cinnamon and clove. Subtle earthy undertones, a touch of cocoa, and a stony minerality emerge with time, adding depth and intrigue. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet silky, with finely grained tannins and a lively acidity that gives it structure and precision. The finish is long and seamless, leaving an impression of purity and refinement.

Packaged in a 1.5L magnum, this Grand Cru is ideal for extended aging, allowing the wine’s intricate layers to evolve and mature gracefully over decades. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck, beef tenderloin, or lamb chops with a red wine reduction. The Hubert Lignier Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2020 is a stellar example of both the vineyard’s grandeur and the winemaker’s artistry, making it a coveted choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
