2001 Domaine Jean Raphet et Fils Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru

Loads of flowers burst from the glass of the 2001 Charmes-Chambertin. Medium-bodied and chewy-textured it has the mouth-feel of one of the better 2000s. Lush layers of candied cherries are found in its supple character. It should be drunk over the next 6 years. Importer: David Hinkle / Peter Vezan, North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; tel.
