Henri Rebourseau Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2018 750 ML

There is plenty of ripe blackberry fruit with a hint of leather and a firm mineral base wrapped in firm, slightly grippy tannins.n n Producer Informationn n The domaine covers 13.5 hectares in the Côte de Nuits, with exactly 5.28 hectares of that classified as Grand Cru. Theirs is one of the largest holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin, and they go back a long way here: Louis’s great-great-grandfather, Henri Rebourseau, created the winegrowers’ syndicate in Chambertin. Louis speaks fondly of his great-great-grandfather’s impact on the domaine from the 1920s to the ’40s: Henri was among the first vignerons of the era to estate-bottle his own wine rather than sell it to négociants. “It was a new idea at the time,” Louis says. “Dealing directly with customers and collectors made the estate very famous.”
