Denis Bachelet's 2008 Charmes-Chambertin is very good with a beautiful bouquet of red berry, sous bois, and Gevrey soil tones. Good concentration to the wild berry and earth flavors with a uniform acidity that coats the mouth. Not the stellar bottle I had exactly a year ago today but very good nonetheless.

Decanted for an hour. The wine showed a bit "spiky" - some gooseberry, a bit tart. Not a bad wine but to be honest was not my aromatic profile and I much preferred a Rousseau Charmes 12 from earlier this week. I wouldn't seek this out at market rates.

Lovely nose with wild berries, mineral and earth. Very good precision and transperancy on the palate with lively acid. A more complete wine compared to his 2007 CC on the side. Upside from here.

Fresh meadow grass and lots of vintage acidity, a much stronger performance than the somewhat muted 07 on the side. 93-94

Memorable with the chef’s saffron infused Sardinian couscous!
