Tasting notes
Bright, dark red. More like the domain wines on the nose than the Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses, conveying a medicinal character to its black cherry and licorice aromas. Then supple, fleshy and sweet in the mouth, displaying lovely energy and spicy lift. Finishes with ripe, fine-grained tannins and palate-staining flavors of black cherry and flowers. Ultimately a charming Charmes from a fairly generous crop.

Along the Route des Grands Crus. Tank sample. High-toned and heady. Very juicy. Intensely macerated red fruits on the palate. Crunchy, grainy tannins. A rather showy Charmes! And why not? Long and intense. Still quite s bit of tannin to resolve. Long. (JR)
