Vineyard notes: "The Charmes-Chambertin comprises grapes from two parcels of Charmes-Chambertin appellation and a parcel of Mazoyères-Chambertin. In Burgundy, the word 'Charmes' refers to the ancient communal fields which became abandoned and overgrown. Here, 'Charmes' means 'Straw' or 'Stubble-field'. Mazoyères got its name from the small sheds built by the vignerons to store their tools. The Mazoyères-Chambertin parcel is of Comblanchien limestone, with a layer of fine gravel originating from the Combe Grisard. The soil of the Charmes Chambertin vineyard is composed of crinoid limestone on the upper slopes and Comblanchien limestone further down."
