Note di degustazione
The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a pastille-like bouquet, quite exotic, with slightly off-putting blood orange and tangerine scents percolating through the red fruit. The palate is very oaky, charred and burnt in character, smothering the terroir expression and denuding it of freshness on the drying finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is also showing beautifully from bottle, bursting with aromas of cherries, licorice, peonies and sweet soil tones. On the palate, it's full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with a deep and layered core of concentrated fruit, succulent acids and a long, expansive finish.
A relatively deeply pitched nose displays ripe yet wonderfully fresh aromas of cassis, humus, underbrush, smoke and the classic sauvage notes of a good Charmes along with a similar hint of pomegranate. The middle weight flavors are, somewhat interesting, are not quite as concentrated as those of the Cazetiers though they are finer and I particularly like the succulent and caressing mouthfeel, all wrapped in a delicious, focused and lingering if slightly less robust finish. This is slightly more harmonious though it is still sufficiently firm as to require extended keeping.
