Translucent, almost raspberry red in colour to the core. The fruit jumps out of the glass, redcurrant and other fresh red fruits and real lift. Lovely open texture with good livening acidity. Some spice on the mid-palate. Refined and fresh with good length. Awesome value. 14.5%

These vineyards are in Montigny-lès-Arsures and Arbois, dominated by marl soils from three different geographical periods, the Trias, Bajocian and Lias. This is ripe on the nose with stone fruit and exotic fruit. It has the unmistakable nut and dry fruit character. On the palate there is an intense bouquet of sweet spice and ripe apple. We tasted from barrel, while the malolactic fermentation was finishing. The wine was still cloudy, with a high level of sugar still remaining. It was an explosion of white flower aromas. Very promising! The berries are lightly crushed before being pressed and then fermented in barrels and botti. One third of the grapes are left on their skins for one night. The wine is aged half in 500L oak casks and half in stainless steel tanks.

The tiny 0.19 hectare holdings here are in fact located in Mazoyeres-Chambertin, although this has always been labelled as a Charmes, as is permitted. The youngest vines are 30 years old, planted on clay-limestone subsoil. This is an intensely mineral-driven wine, with a sweetness of fruit which is so attractive. Plushly fruit-coated tannins add volume and rather majestic structure.
