2014 Charmes Chambertin

Tasting notes
Medium red. Strawberry liqueur, dried rose and peppery herbs on the nose. Silky in texture but a bit backward and medicinal, even rustic, offering cranberry, spice and herb flavors and a slight peppery greenness. I find this a bit herbal and shallow for grand cru. Needs time but will it blossom and fill out? Nicely delineated and aromatic but lacks the depth and full ripeness of the best wines here in 2014. This parcel located just below Chambertin is part of Faiveley's acquisition of Domaine Dupont-Tisserandot in late 2013.

Sweeter aroma than the Grands Échezeaux and more supple and juicy – more imminently approachable too. Firm, smooth tannins and fruit persists to a long finish. (JH)
