A holding of 4 ouvrées, en fermage. Ageing is in new 350 litre barrels, older 228s and a wine globe. Pale lemon colour. The Charmes has a very classy, balanced nose that absolutely speaks of Charmes. The tiny reduction comes from the glass wine globe maybe. Very forceful on the palate, a fine thread of fruit-laden acidity, and excellent length. Just keeps on going! Drink from 2029-2035.

One of the highlights in this range, the 2015 Beaune Les Avaux is sleek and expressive. Sweet red cherry, plum, mint and a kiss of new French oak give the wine its super-appealing, inviting personality. Like so many of these wines, the 2015 captures an incredibly appealing combination of deep, rich fruit and lifted aromatics. In other words, this is a quintessential 2015. - Antonio GalloniHK$3,900.00 -

Vinous (92+)
Medium red. Reticent but complex aromas of redcurrant, earth, mocha, iron, tobacco, underbrush and menthol. Suave and fine-grained, with highly nuanced flavors of redcurrant, leather, earth, game and mocha. Offers more volume and aging potential than the Lavaux, but this still-young wine is much less expressive today. Finishes sweet, supple and very long, with suave, fine tannins.HK$2,640.00 -
Jancis Robinson (18+)
Vines planted in 1960. Destemmed whole berries with a light cold soak. Three weeks’ maceration in total. 35% new oak. Two months in stainless steel after 18 months in oak. Very heavy bottle... Mid crimson – not an eye-catching grand cru intensity of colour. Heady nose with the merest suggestion of decay. Masses of sweetness and still a bit of dusty tannin and introspection. There is so much here but it’s not quite ready for public display. Truly massive in scale – this wine is still a bit brutal. For the moment it’s a little dry on the end.HK$6,680.00 -
(6x75cl) 2009Wine Advocate (94)
The 2009 Chambertin is utterly impeccable from start to finish. Layers of fruit fill out the wine’s broad-shouldered frame, leading to a voluptuous, seamless crescendo of aromas and flavors. The 2009 possesses tons of intensity and fabulous overall balance. What a great showing. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039.HK$15,510.00 -
(6x75cl) 2010Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92-95)
(made from the equivalent of 2-1/2 barrels of fruit and 1 barrel of wine): Good full, bright red. Highly complex nose combines cherry, raspberry, spices, flowers, minerals and crushed stone. Sweet, fine-grained and concentrated; at once powerful and suave thanks to its excellent balance. Finishes sappy, saline, stony and long, leaving the mouth feeling refreshed.HK$12,445.00 -
(6x75cl) 2013Vinous (93+)
Bright, dark red. Cool, highly nuanced aromas of raspberry, mint, coffee, licorice and crushed stone. Then lush, sweet and seamless in the mouth, maintaining the fresh but ripe impression. Wonderfully plush and utterly without rough edges, with flavors of red raspberry and cool minerality lifted by a seductive floral element. (This fruit is all from the Clos de Bèze side of Chambertin, right above Leroy's holding, according to David Croix.) A superb cold version of Chambertin 2013 but not particularly austere owing to the wine's seamless texture and noble tannins.HK$11,155.00 -
(6x75cl) 2015Vinous (93-96)
Camille Giroud's 2015 Chambertin is seamless, rich and inviting. Dark cherry, crème de cassis, menthol, licorice, sage and lavender give the wine much of its regal aristocratic bearing, There is something absolutely impeccable about the way all the elements fall into place here. The Chambertin is often a rock star in this lineup. Is that again in 2015. - Antonio GalloniHK$23,890.00 -
(6x75cl) 2016Vinous (95)
The 2016 Chambertin Grand Cru has a luscious and generous bouquet with plenty of raspberry preserve and crushed strawberry scents, seamlessly integrated oak and entrancing mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, pliant and velvety smooth, fanning out with supreme confidence towards the pixelated finish. Brilliant. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.HK$14,785.00 -
Vinous (97)
The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru has quite a meaty nose, featuring plenty of brambly red fruit, desiccated orange peel and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with a sorbet-fresh entry. This is a more zesty Chambertin, lively and even a little tart toward the finish. Does it convey the substance of this noble vineyard? I’m not convinced, and that is perhaps reflective of the vintage, yet after 15 minutes it seems to gain extra layers of complexity, and it's only then you realize that this is the real deal. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.HK$16,280.00 -
(6x75cl) 2018Vinous (95)
The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru is more backward on the nose than Rossignol-Trapet’s Chambertin tasting blind alongside, the fruit is high-toned and darker, whilst the oak is a little more prominent. It loses a bit of finesse and complexity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, lightly spiced, quite muscular in style with a flattering finish. Yet, it lacks the effortlessness of the finest Chambertins in this vintage and there is just a slight sour aftertaste. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.HK$20,815.00 -
Vinous (95-97)
The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru is very well-defined and focused on the nose, mineral-rich black fruit, sous-bois and cedar emerging with time, conveying a sense of effortlessness. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, an almost symmetrical balance with a poised, pixelated finish. This is an outstanding Chambertin that will age with style. Couldn't get your Rousseau allocation? Try this on for size.HK$25,545.00 -
(6x75cl) 2021Vinous - Neal Martin (94)
The 2021 Chambertin Grand Cru was one of a handful of crus out of sorts from barrel but now in bottle, I am happy to report that it is a completely different wine. It has a delectable bouquet with beautifully defined red berry fruit, wild hedgerow and wilted rose petal that unfolds so delicately in the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant with crunchy red fruit, crisp and saline. There is just a touch of soy in the background that lends it an almost Oriental finish. Very harmonious with a long and quite assertive ferrous finish, this is a fine and actually quite feisty Chambertin. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.HK$19,075.00 -
(6x75cl) 2021The Camille Giroud Chambolle-Musigny Les Borniques 2021 epitomises the elegance and finesse of Burgundy’s esteemed Chambolle-Musigny appellation.

The 2013 Charmes-Chambertin is all about sensuality. Silky tannins shape a textured, resonant Charmes that should drink well with minimal cellaring. Bright stone fruit and sweet floral notes are nicely pushed forward in this pretty, super-expressive Burgundy.HK$6,735.00 -
Vinous (88-91)
The 2015 Charmes-Chambertin is a soft-open knit wine with mid-weight structure and good overall persistence. This is the only wine in the range I tasted from tank. Perhaps for that reason, the Charmes is a bit reticent. It will be interesting to see if the wine gains more volume. The decision to move this wine into tank and bottle it early, suggests it may not have the depth of the best wines in the range. - Antonio GalloniHK$8,255.00 -
Vinous (91-94)
The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is not quite totally put together, and yet it offers superb depth and persistence. Dark blue/purplish fruit, licorice, spice and lavender are pushed forward. Deep, exuberant and immediate, the Charmes offers all of the open-knit, inviting character that is so typical of this site. The 2/3rds whole clusters are very nicely balanced in the early going.HK$7,210.00 -
Vinous (91-93)
The 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru shows the 60% whole bunch on the nose, slightly overshadowing the blackberry and briary aromas. It’s quite Morey-like in style. The palate is well balanced with a structured opening, though perhaps not quite as precise and as elegant as the Clos de la Roche. There’s a touch of dryness on the finish.HK$8,200.00 -
