1998 Charmes Chambertin

Note: This is a special "Reserve" cuvee prepared by the estate's American representatives, Peter Vezan and David Hinkle, exclusively for the United States market. The 1998 Charmes-Chambertin Reserve is medium to dark ruby-colored, and displays sweet, candied cherry aromas. Medium to full-bodied, round, and silky-textured, this is a sexy, well-ripened, red fruit-filled wine. While not particularly complex, it is lush and delivers loads of pleasure. Drink it over the next 6 years. Importer: David Hinkle / Peter Vezan, North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; tel (800) 266-6585.
