Domaine de la Vougeraie Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Les Mazoyeres 2015

95 Points Wine Advocate

The 2015 Charmes-Chambertin Les Mazoyeres Grand Cru comes from vines planted way back in 1902. It has a very succinct bouquet, almost understated at first (atypically for this grand Cru) then builds with vivacious Morello cherry, redcurrant and wild strawberry scents struck through with fine mineralité and tension. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly candied opening, a little more savory than I was expecting, hints of cooked meat percolating through the red and black fruit with veins of marmalade and Satsuma pith towards the finish. It felt quite mercurial, constantly changing in my glass, fortunately gaining more and more cohesion. Intriguing!
