Light colour. Tight, mineral, less obviously ripe. Austere and concentrated – probably what most 5/6 year-old Charlemagnes would aspire to!

Quite pale. A pure and understated nose that gives few hints to the depth to come. The palate shows quite a fat attack becoming more mineral on the mid-palate and into the finish. Slowly fading length. Has classic Charlemagne attack, but the overall style is closer to the understatement of 2001 from Bonneau du Martray than the outright power of Henri Boillot’s 2001. I bought a couple more of these.

Medium colour. The nose is very red, raspberry and strawberry/cherry. Super acidity and very well mannered tannins. The fruit has intensity and length, the main impression is a wine that’s fresh and mineral rather than fat. Absolutely nothing rough about this wine, but could certainly do with a few years in the cellar to take on a little extra charm. Good wine.
