Lignier Michelot Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2015

The 2015 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru is 100% whole cluster fruit with the same oak regime as the Clos Saint-Denis. It has a seductive and pure bouquet with perfumed red cherries, crushed strawberry, mandarin and cola scents, quite generous but with more to give in the future. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and very well-judged acidity interwoven through the brambly red fruit, leather and cedar. It becomes more masculine and structured towards the finish, almost Mazis in style, with a long spicy aftertaste.
