Laurent Ponsot 2021 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée du Cyprès
French Wine
Wild red berries lead, with a distinct green-tea note and a quiet savoury, forest-like edge rather than overt spice. The palate is shaped around clear Pinot Noir fruit and a restrained earthy profile, allowing the grand cru detail to come through without heaviness. Give it air in a wide glass and pair with roast duck, game birds, venison or mushrooms.
Remoissenet Pere et Fils 1989 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
French Red
Honeyed and marmalade-like at first, with apricot, stewed red fruit and herbal tea developing into dried black fruit, fallen leaves, potting soil and a faint tobacco note. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant, with softened tannins, gentle acidity and exceptional length. Give it time in the glass for initial muskiness to lift, then serve with duck or earthy mushroom dishes.
Remoissenet 2016 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
French Red
Black cherry and raspberry are set against earth, spice and a measured oak note. Dense and powerful, the palate has notable texture and resonance, yet the fruit remains pure and clearly defined. Firm tannins carry the wine through a long, savoury finish. Give it generous air and serve with roast duck or beef.
