This wine is deeply colored, with an intense bouquet of black currants and other black and red berries. The mature wine often has aromas of musk or licorice. Made for aging, the wine will improve for 20 to 25 years in the bottle.
Serve with elaborate and strongly flavored foods such as mutton, boeuf bourguignon, coq au vin, game or game pate and strong cheeses.
Burghound: 93 Points
An airy and attractively layered nose offers up a variety of red berry aromas that are liberally laced with touches of spice, earth and oak. The rich, round and suave medium-bodied flavors possess a caressing, even opulent mouth feel though the moderately firm finish is not nearly as complex, at least not at present. Still, this is not without merit and 12 to 15 years should see it at its best.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2016 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a voluptuous and sensual bouquet, perhaps the most instantly attractive of the quintet of Jadot's grand cru Gevreys that I tasted. There are waves of crushed strawberries, black cherries, blueberry and violet aromas all neatly entwined with the new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy black cherry and boysenberry fruit laced with bay leaf and black tea, becoming more structured and Mazoyères-like on the finish (although it is proper "Charmes!").
