"Tasted at the Denis Bachelet dinner at Quality Chop House. The Charmes-Chambertin 2002 is a brilliant wine. It has an elegant, refined bouquet with ebullient red cherry and strawberry fruit that feel sensual and complete. The palate is poised and full of nervosité – a harmonious Charmes-Chambertin with outstanding weight and presence, developing surprising dark chocolate notes on the finish with aeration. Mercurial and intellectual – this is Bachelet at his best."
