2022 Arlaud Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru

Nafnið ,,Charmes" er í okkar huga nátengt að vera sjarmerandi enda finnst okkur vín úr þessari ekru oft fyrr tilbúin heldur en þau sem koma úr Chambertin ekrunni sem er fyrir ofan veg. Silkimjúk tannín gefa þó fyrirheit um að þetta vín muni eiga sér glæstann feril á efri árum.

93-95. A solid mid purple. Relatively luscious dark red fruit on the nose. The acidity pokes out a little bit at the moment, along with the stonier side of the vineyard, but I think this is more a question of the stage the wine is at. I did not quite get the succulent strawberry overcoat of which Charmes is capable. Perhaps, for once, Cyprien has made more of a Mazoyères than a Charmes? Drink from 2032-2039. Tasted: November 2023.
