The 2022 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has impressive purity and vigor on the nose: black cherries and boysenberry fruit, slightly glossy in style, perhaps a bit of summer sun imparting more opulence. The palate is medium-bodied with blackberry and bilberry fruit and saturated tannins. It’s harmonious, though it needs a little more mineralité toward the finish. There's a soupçon of hedonism and warmth here…there's nothing wrong with that.
