Tasting notes
The 2013 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is a wine that I have not tasted since in barrel. It has blossomed on the nose with charming redcurrant, Morello and tertiary scents, a subtle damp moss and undergrowth aroma gradually becoming more prominent with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, a palpable sense of energy and impressive precision towards the finish that leaves the mouth tingling with glee afterwards. Impressive and this comes highly recommended. Tasted at Flint Wines’ Taupenot-Merme retrospective.

The 2013 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a gorgeous floral bouquet with ebullient red cherries and wild strawberry scents, a fine mineral core just underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, touches of orange rind and spice toward the finish that is linear and strict at the moment, but will open up once in bottle. Very fine.
Scented and very sweet. Bitter sweet and almost rigid but with lots of fruit. Dry finish. Firm for a Charmes. Appetising. Even if a tad dry on the end. (JR)
