Charmes-Chambertin

2002 Bourée Pierre Fils Charmes-Chambertin

A gorgeous nose of sweet, melting red fruits – super perfume – it smells more than 10 years older! The tannin has almost been resolved, though there’s still a bit of blocky ‘grab’. The flavours have a darker, possibly oak influenced edge. It’s a shame to spit this one out!

An understated nose, there’s some depth to the dark fruit though. It’s slightly disadvantaged by the sweetness of the last wine, but as the slightly astringent tannin clings to your gums it also attaches a flavour that lingers very well in the finish.

Medium-plus cherry-red. Some depth to the fruit on the nose and a low-key meaty note – surprising for such a juvenile. Intense cherry cordial on the palate with balanced acidity and tannins that show just a little rasp at the end.. A one-dimensional but long finish. Very easy to drink and given the balance and intensity you could lose this in the cellar for 10 years – no problem.
