Tasting notes
(true Charmes):Bright, dark red. The juxtaposition of high-toned black cherry and candied raspberry aromas and a slightly leafy herbal quality suggests a wide range of ripeness. Supple in texture, offering an attractive combination of sweet and savory qualities but there's something a bit medicinal, even green, about this wine. Not my favorite style.

The 2014 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru perhaps does not quite possess the same detail and clarity as the 2014 Chapelle-Chambertin at the moment. There is abundant red and black fruit -- rounded and floral in nature. The palate is well balanced with a little toastiness on the entry. There is good depth to this Chapelle-Chambertin, nicely structured, but I am seeking more nuance and precision just to come through on the finish. Good, although I have had better vintages in the past.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
