This comes from purchased grapes which Fabien has been buying for many years though always extremely limited and the first time we have been offered just 6 bottles total as his regular buyers always back up for this wine year after year making it extremely difficult for us to secure any at all. Coming from Aux Charmes located just below Chambertin Grand cru right in the very centre of the Chambertin vineyard. Gentle handling and extraction as with all his red wines with 20% new oak so just 1 new barrel. Shows very impressive depth with the fabulous perfume and finesse one associates with Charmes Chambertin.
Creamy blue fruits, very vivid and pure. Attractive slightly meaty and gamy fruit, licorice. Medium + bodied, lovely wine.
