Once again there is an abundance of floral influences to the very ripe yet fresh aromas of plum liqueur, cassis and the sauvage. There is copious dry extract that imparts a caressing and seductive texture to the broad-shouldered flavors that are at once powerful yet refined on the firmly structured and youthfully austere finish. This too is a 'buy and forget' wine.
One third comes from Mazoyères-Chambertin, the rest from Charmes itself. Picked on the afternoon of 29th August. 9 barrels made, 6 new and 3 one year old. Imperial purple throughout with a rumbustious nose. A wealth of deep strawberry fruit backed by a little black cherry, then quite high acidity which is no bad thing in 2018. Tasted: November 2019
