Labruyère Prieur Sélection, Charmes Chambertin 2016

Labruyère Prieur Sélection Charmes-Chambertin 2016 is a refined Grand Cru Burgundy made from 100% Pinot Noir, showcasing the elegance and depth that have made this legendary vineyard one of the most admired in Gevrey-Chambertin. Sourced from one of the southernmost Grand Crus in the Côte de Nuits, it combines precision, concentration, and a distinctly silken style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a beautiful ruby-garnet colour with a bright, luminous edge. The nose is layered and expressive, offering red and dark berry fruit, subtle spice, floral nuances, and the fine oak signature from élevage in new French barrels. On the palate, expect a poised and supple wine with ripe Pinot Noir fruit, refined tannins, freshness, and a long, nuanced finish. Charmes-Chambertin can age gracefully for many years, and the 2016 vintage in particular should continue to develop complexity, savoury depth, and tertiary notes over time.

Production
This wine comes from the steep east-facing slopes of Charmes-Chambertin, one of the most celebrated Grand Cru sites in Burgundy, where the soils and exposure help produce wines of finesse, perfume, and structure. The grapes are vinified as 100% Pinot Noir, and the wine is matured in French oak barrels, with around 50-80% new oak each year, adding texture and complexity without overshadowing the fruit.

Food & Serving
A superb match for poultry with rich sauces, lamb, red meat, and mild cheeses. Serve at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 30-60 minutes if opening young, or if you want to fully open up its aromatic layers and soften the structure.
