Tasting Notes

The Charmes-Chambertin has a nose that is so smooth and harmonious that you want to stroke it. It reminds me of Jean-Claude Bachelet’s Charmes in many ways: that effortless cohesion and purity. The palate is succulent on the entry with a saline touch at the front of the tongue. It is quite fleshy with impressive weight with good structure on the spice-tinged finish. This is a multi-faceted Charmes-Chambertin with great length.

Score: 93 - 95

The 2010 Charmes-Chambertin is deep, fleshy and totally seductive. It boasts striking inner perfume that serves as a recurring thread with which endless nuances of fruit are woven together. Finessed, silky tannins provide the backbone for all of the aromas and flavors to shine. I loved the integrity of the fruit in the Charmes. Rousseau’s Charmes is roughly 60% Mazoyeres and 40% true Charmes.

Score: 92 - 94

This is much more deeply pitched than usual with notes of earth and violets and while there are traces of red berry aromas, this hails more from the dark berry side of the fruit spectrum. There is excellent volume to the very rich and round middle weight plus flavors that possess a velvety mouth feel on the focused and impressively long finish. This also exhibits more depth of material than it usually does and this is one of the better Rousseau Charmes of recent years.

Score: 91 - 93
