Four barrels made. Concentrated purple, with dense roses and plump strawberry notes, very Charmes in style. This then blossoms to a superbly sensual finish with amazing length. Pierre Duroché makes other wines with more precision but this is a truly lovely example.
A lovely wine, with dark plummy fruit, mineral and spice. The texture is plump with extract, yet chiselled by tannin and freshness. Marvellous. The domaine farms 0.4ha spread over five parcels, but all are in Aux Charmes. Two are up against Griottes and three are at the bottom. This is the lieu-dit normally picked first; the grapes are mostly destemmed and carefully fermented to avoid over-extraction. (Drink between 2025-2050)
