Vinous Media - Neal MArtin
The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru demands a little coaxing from the glass, with dark cherries, raspberry preserve and briary aromas, gradually unfurling but never fully letting go like the Chapelle-Chambertin. The palate is very well structured with a firm backbone, quite Mazoyères-like in style, the mineralité flooding out towards the second half that displays an insistent grip and impressive length. Excellent.
Wine Advocate - William Kelley
The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru bursts from the glass with an expressive bouquet of cherries, cassis, licorice and subtle espresso roast that's already entirely integrated its new wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, with a satiny and expansive attack, excellent depth at the core and a long, pure finish. It's a gourmand but succulent Charmes that will offer a wide drinking window.
