Lucien Le Moine, Charmes Chambertin Vintage:2016 the 2011 offers attractive scents(from both Charmes and Mazoyres in a roughly 50 50 proportion). Firm reduction dominates the fruit today though it does appear quite ripe. Otherwise there is excellent freshness to the racy and nicely detailed flavors that possess a velvety mid palate texture that contrasts somewhat with the crunchy and slightly rustic finale.
