CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a fragrant bouquet with wonderful definition, superior to the bottle poured at Burgfest four years earlier, with copious brambly red fruit, forest floor and crushed limestone. Superb delineation and transparency. The palate delivers exquisite balance, sapid in the mouth, edgy and surprisingly spicy (I cannot recall that trait before). Very intense on the finish. This Charmes-Chambertin is delivering the goods as it ages.
William Kelley
Rousseau's 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is showing nicely, wafting from the glass with inviting aromas of red berries, plums and peonies mingled with hints of cedar, raw cocoa and mandarin orange. Medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, it's soft and charming, with melting tannins and an ample core of fruit. Generous and demonstrative, like many 2017s it has picked up a bit of richness and depth in bottle.

Two-thirds Mazoyeres. 'Kick-ass' wine, suggests Cyrielle Rousseau. Dark fruited and with a touch of smoky reduction. A rocky mineral aroma too. Delicate but definite. On the palate, real power and strength at the core, like a strong line through the middle. Clearly defined, structured, compact, tight. They change every week, Cyrielle Rousseau tells me. (JH)
