Camille Giroud – 2015 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru

The nose is aromatic, fresh and offers certain power as well as a small concentration. It reveals notes of wild cassis, rose petals, slight hint of ripe blackberry associated with touch of plum as well as fine touch of pepper, cassis bud, a subtle touch of clove and toast. The mouth is fruity and offers freshness, minerality, an acidulous/juicy frame, delicacy and concentration. The wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy raspberry, small red currants and small notes of cassis associated with touches of rose, ripe/fresh cherry, violet as well as hint of pepper, blond tobacco, dried rose petals, fine hints of chocolate, a subtle hint of undergrowth, fig and toasted hazelnut. Tannins are elegant and racy. A certain salinity and a discreet mellow side on the finish/persistence.
