Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Feb 12
The 2010 Charmes-Chambertin boasts gorgeous inner perfume and mid-palate generosity. It is an especially round, seductive wine for the year. There is no shortage of personality and character. The Charmes fleshes out considerably in the glass, showing off its serious weight. All this needs is time to fully come together, but it is impressive, even today. Lignier's Charmes is made from a parcel in Mazoyères.

Lightly fragrant, firm, dark but fluid. Very embryonic but well shaped and in harmony. Dry but fine tannins and the acidity well balanced. Very long even though it is so embryonic. (JH)
