Charmes-Chambertin

2007 Gallois Dominique Charmes-Chambertin

These vines are now over one-hundred years old. The nose starts just a little diffuse. In the mouth it’s full and round with a discrete edge of vanilla-infused flavour. The structure is fine with good acidity – a nice length of flavour too, also with a hint of vanilla. This is a wine to unwind with in a comfortable chair. Actually very long flavours…

A melange of quite forward red and black fruit notes – gives a soft impression. After the Latricières the tannin seems more grainy, though it’s not particularly astringent. Pretty wine – or maybe I should rather say ‘Charming’.

A wide impression of dark fruit on the nose – very nice indeed. Good concentration with plenty of dimension to the lovely fruit flavours. The tannin has a little grain though shows no astringency. A long barrel-driven finish today.
