The 2014 Charmes-Chambertin les Mazoyères Grand Cru includes 80% whole cluster fruit this year, a high percentage due to the age of the vines planted in 1902. There is fine delineation here, precise black cherry and cranberry scents with a touch of cold granite. It is a nose that demands respect, deservedly so. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple black and red fruit, very pure and smooth with a graceful, marmalade-tinged finish that lingers. This should grow up to be a very seductive, comely Charmes-Chambertin with a long future ahead.

(30 hectoliters per hectare produced): Good deep healthy red, the darkest of these 2014s to this point by a wide margin. Fresh scents of dark cherry, minerals, licorice, smoke and earth. Broad, fat and sweet but nicely sappy; I'm not sure I would have picked the vintage blind. The fine-grained black fruit flavors carry impressively through a very long finish. This highly concentrated, edge-free, youthful wine really saturates the mouth and stimulates the taste buds.
