2013 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Les Mazoyères La Vougeraie

Un grand cru renversant au nez de rose délicate. Sa bouche volumineuse donne un sentiment de poids et de densité par un fruit plein et mûr, mais toujours accompagné par une structure présente mais velouté. Ce magnifique vin ira loin dans le temps. À ouvrir d'ici dix à trente ans.

The bunches were especially small here in 2013, with lots of "millerands". The result is a very serious, concentrated wine showing its old vine origins. Black fruits and plenty of whole bunch character are allied to sensitive oak handling and a background of freshness and zesty minerality. 2020-32 .

Dense, dark and brambly, with spicy, floral, highly fragrant fruit on the nose. There's great concentration here, with ripe red cherries bolstered by notes of minerals, spice, and a very long finish which has a lovely perfume on the back palate. Full, succulent and exciting.

Healthy dark red. Superripe, liqueur-like aromas of red cherry, damp earth, tobacco and dried rose. Lush, sweet and rich but also very pure, conveying a strong impression of terroir to its powerful flavors of dark fruits, minerals, spices and Gevrey earth. Turns drier and more classic on the back end. A very dense example of Charmes-Chambertin, but then these vines are in Mazoyères. Finishes with an enticing combination of sweetness and firm minerality.
