The soils at a parcel at the top of the slope at the southern extreme of Le Chambertin are thin and cancerous, and the resulting wine is refined rather than massive.

The wine has a compelling aroma, combining rich fruit and spice notes with subtle hints of oak. It exudes scents of dark berries, rose petals, violets, and truffles. Bouchard's Chambertin Grand Cru is a deep, concentrated wine with a medium to full body that is lively and tightly wound. It finishes with a long, vibrant finish.
