Neal Martin

The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet of extremely pure brambly red fruit, and the oak is very well integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine structure and well-judged acidity. Though this is initially backward on the finish, it opens nicely in the glass. Whether it is long-term is another matter. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

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)
