Description
Allen Meadows awarded this wine a rating of 93 points describing it as 'Elegant and attractively perfumed...[with] detailed and highly energetic medium-bodied flavors...[and a] sleek, even silky mouth...' He also called it a '...well-balanced and understated effort...really quite lovely and should drink reasonably well after only 7 to 8 years of bottle age yet repay a dozen plus.'

Tasting Notes
The 2015 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru offers a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, later orange rind and hints of Seville orange marmalade coming forth, though generally remaining more backward compared to recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin, quite structured and perhaps a little Mazis-Chambertin in style. It is endowed with plenty of crunchy black and red fruit developing towards the finish with a potent spiciness that lingers in the mouth. This is a vivacious Charmes-Chambertin even if, to be honest, it is surpassed by the other grand crus in this vintage. Drink Date: 2020-2040. Score - 93-95.
