pear and white flowers in evidence

A classic Charmes

Among the wines still in barrel

With founder Clive Paton

The palate is very well balanced with fine grain tannins

Anne Gros, Chambolle Musigny Combe d'Orveau other_regions_italy pear and white flowers in(50% new oak). This displayed both fairly strong toast and heavy reduction last year from barrel and while the toast is almost completely gone, there is still a trace of reduction which leads to somber, backward and rich middle weight flavors that possess good volume and fine length with a mouth coating backend. There is good freshness and this is relatively fine for the vintage. I would suggest decanting it first. 87 2008+
