Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru

Fruit from a small 1.14ha parcel of vines on the top part of the Mazoyères section of Charmes Chambertin. Vines average 50+ years, vinified with some whole clusters in 3 sections (very old, old, young vines). Aged in barrel with up to 30% new oak.

2017 - Warm spring with frost mostly avoided. Hot/warm weather for spring and summer leads to an early harvest. Picking dates are essential due to the risk of rain. A plentiful harvest.

Tasting Note: 2019 - Aromas of ripe blackberry, cherry, blueberry with hints of violet petals, oak spice, earth on the nose. Pure, rich, and supple on the palate with a lovely red/black fruit concentration & floral notes, fresh acidity, fine tannin with some grip, a long layered finish. Good structure and power, will age nicely.

2020 - Slight reduction noted that blows off to reveal heady black cherry aromas on the nose. Medium-bodied with excellent intensity, rich fruited and gamy powerful flavours on the palate, fine taut acidity, fine tannin, rustic and robust, some mineral notes on the lengthy finish.
