'...in 1984, a French merchant in Lausanne, Jean-Pierre Mathieu, bought a small section (0.27 ha) of Mazoyères-Chambertin. This... is rented en metayage to Christophe Roumier. The financial arrangements are a little different here [to the agreement with Michel Bonnefond in Ruchottes-Chambertin], and Roumier only gets half of the crop, which, like most Mazoyères, is labelled as Charmes, a name easier to pronounce and sell'. - Clive Coates MW. The other half is labelled as Jean-Pierre Mathieu although the vines are tended by Roumier and the vinification and elevage are exactly the same as the Roumier bottling.
