Jean-Marie Fourrier, Charmes Chambertin Vintage:2017 The palate is still unyielding(from Charmes proper). Moderate wood surrounds the earthy red and dark currant aromas that display plenty of warm earth and underbrush nuances. The supple, delicious and nicely vibrant medium weight flavors possess a succulent, even fleshy mid palate, while displaying good if not special depth on the lingering finish. There is good material here and my range assumes that this will add depth with bottle age. (90 93) 2026+
