The vines of Charmes Chambertin are planted to rocky brown soils, partly alluvial and rich in limestones clays, a fortuitous mix which yields harvests of the most extraordinary Pinot Noir. Elegantly perfumed, eloquent and statuesque, the wines of Aux Charmes have been revered for centuries by kings and emperors alike. The proprietors of Dugat-Py have been local winegrowers since the days of the three musketeers, their parcel of Charmes is a relatively recent acquisition, brought to an uncompromising standard of excellence within the life of a generation.
