Medium-pale colour. Lovely breadth and focus to the mainly red fruit, a creamy aspect too. In the mouth it’s fresh and has good dimension and complexity. Long finishing in a surprisingly mineral (for Charmes) way. Lovely

Wide, high tones over a little reduction and dark creamy fruit. The reduction is more marked on the palate, but really excellent concentration, texture and complexity are immediately apparent. This is quite a wine.

Medium ruby red. Quite a diffuse nose of high tones over a denser fruit base. There’s certainly a nice burst of fruit on the mid-palate and the almost resolved tannins show good texture. Very nice, but I was left wanting given the grand cru status
