Domaine de la Vougeraie, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Les Mazoyeres 2010

The 2010 Charmes-Chambertin Les Mazoyeres is a kaleidoscopic wine that blossoms on the palate in all directions. Dark red fruit, smoke, incense and white flowers are all woven together in a fabric of nearly indescribable elegance. The Charmes boasts great intensity and fabulous balance all the way through to the finish. This is an utterly breathtaking effort. This parcel was planted in 1902 and is the domaine's oldest. Vincent used 70% whole clusters on the Charmes and aged the wine in 80% new oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035.
