Bouchard Pere et Fils, Charmes Chambertin

Bouchard Pere et Fils, Charmes ChambertinNA

good length and freshness

While this should reward a few years of cellar time I suspect that it will be accessible young as well

The mouthfeel is thickly woven and generous

there is a crisp quality to the plums along with alternating sweet and tart fruits in the finish

quinine and a whiff of just sliced citrus

if the wine and I both had more time together

all wrapped in an austere if long finish

Luciano Sandrone and his daughter Barbara tell me that the 2014 harvest needs explaining

tasting stripped

somewhat fleshy flavors yet offers surprisingly good precision on the back end

Utterly magnificent in the glass

tannic finish
