Note di degustazione
Seeing lots of stems (80%) and plenty of new wood (although you wouldn't know it by tasting it), the 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from a larger vineyard just south of the village of Gevrey-Chambertin. It has a terrific core of red and black fruits as well as candied flowers and spicy nuances. It's beautiful on the palate as well and is medium-bodied, has incredible tannins, flawlessly integrated oak, and a great, great finish. It plays in the more elegant, graceful end of the spectrum but has intensity as well as length. It's another gorgeous wine from this winemaker.

The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is striking. Lavender, sage, mint and licorice play off a core of inky blue/purplish berry fruit. Bright acids and a spine of tannin lend energy and vibrancy throughout. Today, the Charmes is a bit closed. That should not be an issue in time, but readers should plan on cellaring it for a good few years. I very much like the sense of translucence here.
