Tasting notes
The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin les Mazoyères Grand Cru escaped any frost and did not require sorting. Containing 100% whole bunch, it has a taut and fresh bouquet with raspberry, blackcberry and wild hedgerow aromas, a touch of pencil lead coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, good grip, a Charmes-Chambertin with firm grip on the saline finish. Maybe I am seeking a bit more "charm" although that may develop with time.

100% whole bunch. A noble crimson in colour. The whole bunches infuse the otherwise velvet textured deep red fruit, spreading the fruit right across the palate. There is both delicacy of fruit and clearly intensity at the same time. Very special as ever.�
