spicy and intense aromas are presently framed by more oak than this wine usually displays young yet there is such impressive density of both fruit and flavors that it should absorb it over the next couple of years
7% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot
yet it doesn’t in the least lack for ripe citrus juiciness
and should unfold gracefully over the following 30+ years
Faiveley Charmes Chambertin 2018 750mL Size:750mL spicy and intense aromas are"The 2018 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru is another of the portfolio's high points this year, bursting with aromas of wild berries, orange rind, incense and smoked meats. On the palate, it's full bodied, fleshy and textural, with old vine concentration, broad shoulders and a long finish. While this is a muscular, serious Charmes, it's also very elegantly rendered."
