Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Oct 19
The 2016 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a tightly wound but winsome bouquet with perfumed, floral aromas: red cherries, crushed strawberry, rose petal and hints of tomato vine. I would have liked a little more energy and conviction but that clearly develops with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a charming, quite sweet entry. The tannins jut out initially but with aeration it coalesces beautifully. I must admit that I found this difficult to read at first. Only after 15 minutes in the glass the wine showed its true colours. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.
