CHARMES CHAMBERTIN Grand Cru Domaine Lignier-Michelot 2014
(from tiny grapes in what Lignier described as the last plot in Mazoyères before Charmes; 13. 2% natural alcohol; 60% vendange entier; Lignier did just a single pigeage late in the fermentation): Deep red-ruby. Superripe but brooding aromas of cassis, blackberry, smoked meat, game, licorice and bitter chocolate. Plush, thick and sweet but with surprising definition and lift to its violet and boysenberry flavors. Not a particularly mineral style but a major mouthful of sweet, supple purple fruits. This wine has a rather high pH of 3. 7 but does not lack for energy. Lignier noted that he used to make this wine with 100% whole clusters. He farms these vines for the owner but noted that they will probably be sold before the 2016 harvest.
NUITS SAINT GEORGES Vignes Centenaires 1er Cru La Richemone Domaine Christophe Perrot-Minot 2017
The 2017 Nuit-Saint-Georges La Richemone Vieilles Vignes "Cuvée Ultra" has an attractive bouquet of <em>sous-bois</em> and tobacco-infused red berry fruit, very elegant in style and nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a subtle marine influence and a tang of sour cherry and brine toward the persistent finish. Excellent.
