Medium red. Strawberry liqueur, dried rose and peppery herbs on the nose. Silky in texture but a bit backward and medicinal, even rustic, offering cranberry, spice and herb flavors and a slight peppery greenness. I find this a bit herbal and shallow for grand cru. Needs time but will it blossom and fill out? Nicely delineated and aromatic but lacks the depth and full ripeness of the best wines here in 2014. This parcel located just below Chambertin is part of Faiveley's acquisition of Domaine Dupont-Tisserandot in late 2013.Inc. VAT£943.09 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from a single hectare that came from Faiveley’s purchase of Dupont-Tisserandot. The parcels lie right across the road from Chambertin, and the vines are around 70 years old, although they were due to be pulled up the week after my visit, since they are becoming unproductive. This has a slightly smudged, floral bouquet that gains clarity with aeration, but does not quite have the delineation of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and good grip, quite Mazoyères-like in terms of structure, and an attractive spicy finish. It maybe just lacks the finesse of the very finest Charmes-Chambertins.Inc. VAT£907.09 -

Good full red. Scented aromas of blackberry, cassis, licorice, menthol and herbs (some stems were used here) are rather cool for the year and a bit forbidding.

Medium red. Strawberry liqueur, dried rose and peppery herbs on the nose. Silky in texture but a bit backward and medicinal, even rustic, offering cranberry, spice and herb flavors and a slight peppery greenness. I find this a bit herbal and shallow for grand cru. Needs time but will it blossom and fill out? Nicely delineated and aromatic but lacks the depth and full ripeness of the best wines here in 2014. This parcel located just below Chambertin is part of Faiveley's acquisition of Domaine Dupont-Tisserandot in late 2013.In Bond£768.00 -

The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from a single hectare that came from Faiveley’s purchase of Dupont-Tisserandot. The parcels lie right across the road from Chambertin, and the vines are around 70 years old, although they were due to be pulled up the week after my visit, since they are becoming unproductive. This has a slightly smudged, floral bouquet that gains clarity with aeration, but does not quite have the delineation of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and good grip, quite Mazoyères-like in terms of structure, and an attractive spicy finish. It maybe just lacks the finesse of the very finest Charmes-Chambertins.In Bond£738.00 -

An extraordinary wine, even for this very special Grand Cru. So mineral and pure with a gigantic concentration of sour cherries. The extremely fine and racy finish lifts off towards the heavens. You could drink it on release, but this has enormous aging potential. Try to wait until 2023.In Bond£889.00 -

Good full red. Scented aromas of blackberry, cassis, licorice, menthol and herbs (some stems were used here) are rather cool for the year and a bit forbidding. Supple on entry, then quite tight in the middle palate, with dark berry, crushed cherry, spice and menthol flavors leading to a firmly tannic, slightly dusty finish. Showing little obvious sweetness today, this youthfully tough wine is in need of patience.In Bond£373.00 -

More lemon than lime in the colour. This shows tension even on the nose and certainly delivers on the palate. Ripe citrus behind a full, but not lush, body of fruit, with a little spice behind. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Nov 2024.In Bond£543.00 -
Immerse yourself in the grandeur of French winemaking with the Domaine Geantet-Pansiot Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2013. Crafted in the hallowed vineyards of Gevrey-Chambertin, located in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, this wine is a testament to the esteemed winemaking tradition of the Geantet-Pansiot estate. Father-son duo, Vincent and Fabien Geantet, employ traditional winemaking techniques – from picking the Pinot Noir grapes by hand to ageing in oak barrels – ensuring unparalleled quality and taste.
Domaine Geantet-Pansiot Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2013 boasts an intense ruby colour with purple hues, indicative of its youthful nature. Its bouquet exudes an intoxicating blend of wild fruit and floral aromas, which harmoniously entwines with the subtle oak influence. In the mouth, it reveals a perfect balance of acidity, tannins, and rich, silky body, culminating in a long, lingering finish. This extraordinary wine serves as an authentic depiction of its terroir, transforming each sip into a French fairytale.

The 2014 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a fragrant, floral bouquet with touches of blueberry, violet, wet limestone and effervescent blood orange. There is simply wonderful delineation here. The palate is very well structured, linear and strict in accordance with the vintage, driving acidity here maintaining the freshness with superb minerality on the finish. Oh yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.In Bond£1,080.00
