Tasting notes
The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru displays aromas of cassis, raspberries, dried flowers and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, open-knit and velvety, with good depth and concentration for the vintage. This should offer considerable near-term appeal.

The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a very perfumed bouquet with tart red cherries, strawberry, vanilla and subtle incense aromas that gradually waft from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, quite grippy in the mouth, pastille-like in terms of purity though, it just misses a little depth and complexity on the finish compared to other vintages. It is well crafted, but it just needs more personality to show through.
