Note di degustazione
The 2016 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is the darkest in colour among its peers. The nose is high-toned and floral, a veneer of vanillary new oak with a touch of boot polish. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry: black cherries, a touch of prune and white pepper. The winemaking is expressed more than the terroir on the finish. Maybe trying a little too hard to impress? If it can absorb the thick carapace of wood, then it will be a successful Charmes-Chambertin. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

Deep crimson, deeper than Clos des Lambrays. Very intense with firm tannins – even a little bitter on the end. (JR)
Healthy dark red. Sexy purple fruits and violet complicated by licorice and sexy oak spices on the vibrant nose and palate. The sweetest of these young 2016s but with excellent firming acidity and underlying structure too. Very fine-grained but a bit youthfully imploded, showing noteworthy tautness and tension for this wine, which is typically silkier and easier to taste early on than the Cazetiers. Not at all an earthy style of Gevrey, this is all about sappy purple fruits and spices. A bit youthfully compact but very promising, even if the Cazetiers is a bit longer today.
