Charmes-Chambertin reveals an attractive deep ruby red hue and rich nose disclosing a variety of small red fruits, spices, and flowers. This indulgent yet very elegant wine offers silky smooth tannins although it requires a few years in the bottle before it reaches its full potential.

"Dark and rich, this great pinot noir makes a bold statement. Very fleshy on the medium- to full-bodied palate but with excellent freshness. The fine tannins build to a serious crescendo in the quite firm and really imposing finish. Needs some time to give its best. From organically grown grapes. Matured in a half-and-half mix of new oak barriques and once-used barriques."
