Supple and aromatic, Charmes is chock-full of purple fruits and a crème anglaise-inspired middle. Great balance and persistence; cut from the purest ruby.
Finding 2007 Burgundy's place in history
12.10.2009
/ By David Hinkle
Vintage comparisons not only make for lively
arguments, but also help divine the future evolution of a young wine
before us. The 2007 vintage, being just released, was on
everyone's mind -- so we made a point during our tastings to open a
couple older bottles, with the intention of finding 2007's "historic"
place in the pantheon of Burgundy past.
The experience of tasting
again through a number of 2007s, however, was a revelation and almost
made me forget the topic at hand. It was as if the wines were just
bottled yesterday. I remembered sampling the same wines just after the
harvest, when the pure sensation of smelling and tasting fresh
raspberries was undeniable. The fresh-fruit, pure Pinot core of the
wines was still vibrant, but now a touch of spice was becoming evident,
too. They were, in a word, delicious.

you—especially in a rare, low-yield vintage like 2007. Which is why this
offer is an
opportunity you shouldn't pass up.

“...more complex with very pretty red berry fruit, warm earth and a hint
of wood spice that is in perfect keeping with the rich, full and
forward flavors that possess relatively soft structural elements though
the mouth feel is seductive as a result.” — Burghound
