Score 95/100 · Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Aug 2005
Bursting with black cherry aromas, the superb 2003 Charmes-Chambertin is ample, rich, sweet, and lush. This powerful medium to full-bodied wine regales the palate with candied red cherries as well as spices. Sappy and chewy, it is friendly, packed with fruit, flawlessly ripened, and displays a long, supple finish.

This is stylistically completely different with an elegant, nicely pure and refined red berry fruit nose that is ripe but no where near as ripe as the Clos de la Roche. The plum-infused, slightly jammy medium full flavors are precise, sweet and persistent and display particularly good finishing complexity. Lovely stuff with moderate cellar potential.
