Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru from Pierre Duroché has an attractive nose, the fruit a little darker than its peers: blackcurrant, raspberry and black plum mixed with damp earth and wilted violet petals. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, good acidity, a gentle build in the mouth towards a precise but quite muscular, structure finish. This is a long-term proposition, a grand cru that is surfeit with energy and sheer irresistible drinkability. Just wonderful.
