Tasting Notes: The 2014 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru by Charles Van Canneyt offers a refined and evolving aromatic profile of red and dark cherry, raspberry, and rose petal, complemented by hints of earth, spice, and subtle undergrowth, with classic Grand Cru complexity softened gracefully by age. On the palate, it is medium to full bodied with silky yet structured tannins, delivering a concentrated core of red fruit supported by a refined mineral undertone, while tertiary notes of leather, forest floor, and spice continue to emerge with cellaring. The finish is long and balanced, lingering on fruit, spice, and a precise mineral thread, emblematic of top tier Grand Cru Pinot Noir
