(from Charmes proper and Mazoyères). A decidedly reserved if not mute nose reflects notes of cassis, plum liqueur, earth and suggestions of the sauvage, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to warrant mentioning. The round and nicely voluminous middle weight plus flavors possess an enveloping mouthfeel as well as very fine length on the firm finish where the only minor reproach is a touch of warmth. This is a big Charmes and will need ample patience if you wish to see it at its apogee.
