Tasting notes
The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Aux Charmes Grand Cru has a slightly rustic nose, though I appreciate the commingling red and black fruit, truffle and undergrowth scents. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins, fine acidity and a little powdery in texture. This has an overtly spicy, slightly lactic finish. Not bad, though it doesn't really exude the class of a Grand Cru. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Aux Charmes Grand Cru was picked with the central stem removed by hand, matured in 100% new oak. It has quite an opulent bouquet with vibrant red cherries and crushed strawberry scents, just a mote of wet clay. The palate is charming with ripe red fruit, fine grip, quite an expansive Charmes-Chambertin but maybe just missing a little delineation on the finish.
