Note di degustazione
Laurent’s 2005 Charmes Chambertin Vieilles Vignes comes largely from the true Charmes, with only a small component of Mazoyeres. Striking aromas of cherry, red currant, rowan berry, licorice, lily flower, and vanilla lead to an explosively bright, sweet saturation of fruit on the palate. Subtle creaminess and caressing softness of texture add to the allure. The back end is long and soothing, less penetrating than most of Laurent’s best 2005s but living up to its name in charm. There will be a surprisingly large amount of this wine by Laurent standards, around 150 cases.

(includes a bit of old-vines Mazoyeres) Deep, bright red-ruby. Blueberry and blackberry aromas lifted by a violet note. Concentrated, sharply delineated and minerally, with enticing floral complexity and lovely inner-mouth energy but not quite the depth or tannic structure of the two Nuits premier crus from ancient vines. But the red fruit flavors offer considerable charm.
