Marchand-Tawse, Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru, 2016
Charmes-Chambertin is often called the most elegant of Gevrey's grand crus, and this 2016 from Marchand-Tawse shows why. The house was founded by Quebec-born winemaker Pascal Marchand, a pioneer of organic and biodynamic Burgundy, in partnership with Moray Tawse, and their micro-negociant wines are made with a purist's attention to detail. The 2016 vintage was tiny after spring frost slashed yields, but the grapes that survived ripened beautifully, giving wines of concentration and depth. This mature grand cru is built on pure red fruit and fine, chalky structure, with the perfume Charmes does so well. It has the stuffing to keep developing, but it's already generous and lovely. Grand cru pedigree with the polish of a few years in bottle.
