"The 2014 Charmes-Chambertin from Laurent Lignier is deeper and sappier on the nose than the Griotte, jumping from the glass in a very fine blend of red and black cherries, gamebird, woodsmoke, raw cocoa, and excellent base of soil, a touch of nutskin and a gentle framing of cedary wood. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very soil-driven in personality, but with a sappy core of fruit, suave tannins and lovely refinement on the very long, tangy and complex finish."

The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2014 in Burgundy is a benchmark white vintage, tense, fresh and mineral, though Cote de Beaune hail cut yields; the reds are balanced and classically proportioned, with good freshness and medium-term aging potential.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
