The 2016 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru was picked on 28 September and includes 35% whole bunch fruit, with 40% new oak. It has a charming bouquet with well-defined crushed strawberry, raspberry and oyster shell aromas that unfurl in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, clean and pure, quite sharp toward the finish with tart red fruit on the finish. I would have just liked a little more rondeur on the finish, but otherwise, this is a satisfying Charmes-Chambertin that should end up toward the top of my banded score.
