revealing hints of Frangelico liqueur and smoked nut

this is a warm and lush character with ripe cherry flavors

yet it's agile and bright

and this Veuve Clicquot Rose is a great example of this fantastic harvest

Pommard and Marsannay fruit

2013 Domaine Perrot Minot Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes revealing hints of Frangelico liqueurThe 2013 Charmes Chambertin is another powerful wine, with raw tannins and distinctly savage overtones. Game, smoke, tobacco, menthol and red cherries emerge, but with great reluctance. This towering, structured Charmes will likely repay cellaring handsomely. I have to say, this is a bit of an uncharacteristic showing for a wine that is usually more finessed. (AG)
