Domaine Castagnier, Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2023

A bright purple to crimson colour. Classic Charmes sensuality on the nose with a touch of well-judged oak as well. Then I discover that the Charmes is denser than I first thought, with some black raspberry, and a bit of pepper, alongside the sweeter fruit. Nicely constructed with length at the back.

Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Dec 2024.
