"Remoissenet's 2013 Charmes-Chambertin is striking, but my sense is that it is only showing a hint of its potential today. New leather and smoke meld into dark blue/purplish fruit in a decidedly powerful Charmes. Rose petal, lavender, spice and mint notes develop later, but the overall impression is of a taut Charmes that is going to need time to fully come together. The Charmes was the last wine to finish its malo, so its showing here is not at all surprising."
