Wine by Bok: 9.25/10 stars
The 2023 Aux Charmes from Domaine Amiot stands out for its vibrant energy and bold fruit expression. The bouquet bursts with aromas of ripe berries intertwined with sweet spice nuances that immediately capture attention. On the palate, the wine is full bodied and rounded with a substantial texture that gives it a powerful presence. Unlike the silky elegance often associated with Premier Cru wines, this cuvée earns its classification through its remarkable fruit intensity and concentration, which clearly surpass the estate’s village level wines. With production limited to approximately 900 bottles per year, this rare wine represents an exciting opportunity to secure a distinctive and robust Premier Cru Burgundy. (03/2026)
The vineyards face east to south-east at around 260 meters elevation. The vines grow on limestone soils marked by Comblanchien-style hard rock surface outcrops and shallow topsoil, a setting that encourages natural concentration. The lieu-dit Les Charmes lies just below the grand cru Clos de la Roche, alongside Mazoyères-Chambertin, placing it in one of the most prestigious environments of the Côte de Nuits. From viticulture to vinification, all practices are carefully adjusted to each vintage to craft the finest wines while preserving the typicity of the terroir. Ageing takes place in oak barrels, including one third new oak for this appellation, to enhance complexity without masking origin. The wine shows a harmonious balance of roundness, freshness, and supple tannins. Its floral nose leads to a delicate, richly textured palate with remarkably smooth tannic structure, making it approachable and charming from youth. Production is extremely limited, with only 900 bottles produced.
