"It is interesting, given all of the sappy red fruit tones in the wines served ahead of the 2015 Charmes-Chambertin, to find how black fruity this wine is this year. The bouquet is deep and very pure, wafting from the glass in a mix of black cherries, sweet dark berries, bitter chocolate, grilled meat, dark soil tones and a topnote of woodsmoke. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and tangy, with a rock solid core, ripe, perfectly-integrated tannins and a very long, tangy and youthful finish. This is a spitting image of the young 1993 Charmes, with perhaps just a bit more mid-palate stuffing."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
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.
