Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2012A markedly earthy and very sauvage nose features notes of red and dark currant, humus, underbrush and plenty of earth character. Here too there is a textured and seductive mouth feel to the medium weight plus flavors that possess fine mid palate concentration before concluding in an ever so mildly rustic finish that delivers impressive persistence and a bit more overall depth.
