Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Nov 18
The 2015 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru needs to shake off a little reduction at first. The nose is quite high-toned but attractive and well defined, demonstrating some deft use of new oak. The palate is ripe and rounded on the entry, showing more black than red fruit, and revealing touches of cassis and iodine toward a finish that just does not quite deliver the length of aftertaste it deserves. Here it is just edged out by Pierre Duroché's 2015 Lavaut-St.-Jacques. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
