Tasting notes
With only two barrels and one feuillette (132-litre barrel) produced, this Charmes-Chambertin is impressive. Bright ruby in colour, the wine offers aromas of blackcurrant and redcurrant, with a gentle note of crushed raspberries. The palate is pretty full-bodied, with powerful, velvety tannins and an excellent nerve of acidity driving the wine. There’s more red fruit, with freshness and purity. Its mouth-watering texture leads to an excellent long finish dominated by crunchy red berries and sweet pastry. Beautiful wine.
