A relatively elegant nose releases soft scents of various red berries, earth, floral and sauvage nuances that are highlighted by gentle wood notes. There is excellent volume to the notably rich and velvet-textured broad-shouldered flavors that are supported by phenolically mature and quite firm tannins on the mouth coating and attractively well-balanced finish. This is really very good though it can't match the sheer depth of the marvelous Clos St. Denis. Drink: 2027+

Dried rose petals, sweet tobacco, crushed flowers and dried cherries meld together seamlessly in Jadot's 2012 Charmes-Chambertin. The 2012 is aromatically lifted and quite delicate throughout. Overall, the 2012 is silky and inviting, but its mid-weight structure argues for near and medium-term drinking.

The 2012 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is quintessential, triggered with an explosion of ebullient blueberry and blackberry fruit that is both sensual and joyous, here, almost like a Bonnes-Mares. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft velvety entry and then just when I am about to be seduced, there is the feeling that it needs more vertebrae. It loses substance and focus, as if all its energy was expended at the beginning. You end up finding more to savour within Louis Jadot’s excellent premier crus.
