Tasting notes
Once again there is ample sauvage character present on the very ripe aromas of red and black cherry, warm earth and interesting floral hints that are trimmed in wood and menthol nuances. The rich, full-bodied and concentrated flavors brim with sappy dry extract while delivering very good persistence on the mildly warm, youthfully austere and bitter pit fruit finish. This too is currently firm to the point of being chewy though a bit less so than the Cazetiers.

The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru offers up a deep bouquet of ripe cherries, licorice, rose petals and toasty new oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with velvety tannins, an ample core of fruit, lively acids and a long, mouthwatering finish. More texturally lavish and expansive, this, too, is very promising.
