2014 Domaine Ponsot, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Cuvee des Merles

A cool, pure and exceptionally spicy nose of red berries and earth is trimmed in a deft touch of wood. The rich, concentrated and caressing middle weight flavors immediately tighten up on the robust, powerful and impressively persistent finish. Drink 2026+.

The 2014 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée des Merles has a precise, almost pixelated, limestone-infused bouquet that blossoms in the glass with its vibrant red cherries, strawberry and bergamot scents. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannin. The acidity here is very well judged, smooth and silky in the mouth, extremely pure with stupendous precision on the long finish. It is the kind of Charmes-Chambertin that you instantly fall in love with. Beautiful...just beautiful. Drink 2018-2035.
