Tasting notes
(all Mazoyères, from vines planted in the mid-1950s): Saturated dark red. Enticing perfume of black fruits, rose petal and Asian spices. Packed with dark fruits and spices but distinctly muscular and backward in the early going. This highly concentrated wine finishes with a note of licorice and powerful tannic spine.

From vines planted in the early 1950s on the Mazoyeres-side on the vineyard just below Domaine Camus, the 2013 Charmes-Chambertin has a very pretty, violet-scented nose that you cannot argue with. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, slightly chalky tannins and well-judged acidity. There is a fine purity here - not tremendous weight mind you - but brimming with tension and poise right to the very finish.
