2008 Giroud Camille Charmes-Chambertin

By billn on June 30, 2010

More breadth of aromas, perhaps more complex too, but nowhere near the precision of the Cortons. Really wide impression in the mouth – full-flavoured with good texture. This is very long.

Deeper if less wide aromas – there is a similar, almost grainy, complexity to the the nose that the Charmes shows again it is almost ‘fuzzy focus’ versus the Cortons. The palate here is tighter and equally intense. Good balance and finish – I like this very much.

Aromatically this is very wide and complex. Round, full, textured and complex – pretty much everything is here – and good as the previous wines were, by an easy margin the most complete of these Gevrey grand crus.

The aromas seem stricter – they are certainly more savoury – but they are not ‘difficult’. In the mouth, while less kaleidoscopic, this is more focused and precise than the Chambertin in exactly the same way the Cortons were to the xxx-Chambertins. This is really an excellent wine.

2008 Giroud Camille Corton-Charlemagne

There is a hint of pineapple to the nose – against a creamy background. There is width here that seems to keep expanding! Very good intensity. Nicely long. A remarkably approachable Charlemagne for such a baby!
