Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru, Coquard Loison Fleurot

Note:

The 2016 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru comes from Mazoyeres, a 0.35 hectare parcel of vines just under 50 years old, and matured in 50% new oak. It has a seductive bouquet with ample dark cherry, bergamot and crushed strawberry scents that are beautifully defined. The palate is medium bodied with crunchy red berry fruit and a fine bead of acidity, quite elegant and maybe less opulent than your typical Charmes Chambertin, but what fantastic length. The manner in which it fans out on the finish is just glorious. This is one of the outstanding Charmes Chambertins of the vintage.
