Arnaud Mortet - Charmes-Chambertin 2016

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

(Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Arnaud Mortet, Red) At the northern end of the appellation. Fine mid purple, a little touch of reduction on the nose cannot hide the up-front opulence of classical Charmes, then the vibrant succulent Charmes fruit, excellent length. Not a blockbuster but a bouncy joyous wine. Tasted: December 2018.

"Pungent, very pure aromas of raspberry, crushed stone and rose petal: a real essence of le vrai Charmes. Juicy, fine-grained and penetrating, combining excellent density with an impression of weightlessness in a way that very few Pinot Noirs made outside Burgundy can accomplish. Brisk rose petal and red licorice flavors contribute to the impression of sharp definition. A very classy, feminine, youthfully imploded style of Charmes with terrific finishing cut and grip. Finishes with very suave tannins and sneaky rising length. Showing brilliantly today."-Stephen Tanzer
