On the nose- darker red fruits, a little closed off. Really opens up on palate, lighter than expected from nose, chalky texture, more fresh and lifted with the acidity... fruit driven with chalk/dusty backbone. Not overly complex but has many interesting layers. — 3 years ago

Amazing 07 thats nose is Leroy like showing lots of dark cherry, berry with soaring sweet Asian & Vosne spices, sous bois, earth, orange peel & violets round out some of the notes. — 3 years ago

Brought by a friend from his cellar. Popped and poured. The 2016 “Les Charmes Dessus” pours a bright yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with rather powerful notes of tropical fruits: pineapple and passion fruit with some lemons, honeysuckle, caramel, limestone minerals and subtle baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and grippy, slightly chalky. There is a very attractive, creamy texture too. A very lovely wine that works pretty darned well with octopus carpaccio. Drink now through 2031. — 3 months ago

The 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a very elegant bouquet of red berry fruit, briar, crushed stone and rose petal, and is, so it turns out, Very Rousseau-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, a silver bead of acidity and plenty of energy, with wonderful tension and verve toward the finish. This is a Charmes-Chambertin with great pedigree and will give many years of drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, December 2023)

Overly cold unfortunately which mutes much of the flavour you would expect from this 1er Cru from the excellent 2014 vintage for white burgundy made by the baby faced assassin Henri Boillot. I might add to this note once it has warmed up. Very lemony. — 9 months ago

Truly well done in a modern style. Not our thing but this as a good bottle and we enjoyed it. Very dark robe, extracted, bold, but not overdone.

First night was primary, young, loads of red fruit, lots of fun. Third night was intensely fragrant, deeper red fruit, earthy, complex. Maybe from now on I will decant these for three days before drinking. 2008 vintage. — 3 years ago
