Note di degustazione
The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Cuvée des Merles Grand Cru offers ripe black cherries mixed with crème de cassis and violet on the nose, becoming more floral as it opens in the glass. The weighty palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannin and quite voluminous for a Charmes-Chambertin. The finish features slightly tarry red fruit laced with black pepper. I would just like more red fruit to balance the black here.

Lavish and expressive, the 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée des Merles bursts from the glass with a fruit-driven bouquet of ripe cherries, licorice, spices and sweet soil that is typical of this vineyard. Full-bodied, satiny and expansive, the wine's fine structuring tannins are entirely cloaked in succulent fruit. The finish displays good length and delineation. Of all Ponsot's grands crus, this will be the best bet for near-term consumption.
