Episode 42: My first Vendange pt.3Tasting note on 2 Grand Cru from Chambertin
1) Domaine de la Vougeraie - Charmes Chambertin - Les Mazoyeres 2004
Score: 18.5/20 Concluded by my 5 element tasting method
Vivacious fruits of red currants, fig , strawberries jams. Rounded tannins showing the opulence quality. well defined minerals & tones of pepper. Finish is like a tail of peacock, colorful & youthful. Eager to see how it develops after 6 -8 years time.
The Mazoyere climat is about 18 hectares facing east from an elevation of 260m.
2) Camille Giroud - Latriciere-Chambertin 2006
Score: 16.25/20 Concluded by my 5 element tasting method.
Effortless power driven by the concentration of fruits, like, red currant, raspberries. an overtone of band-aid or pharmuetic appeared on back palate, a bit restraint. Finish is long & vibrant cherries notes, very focus.
The wine is from the 7.3 hectares of Grand cru,lies at the southen end of Gevrey Chambertin, at the border with Morey st. Denis. The soil is a crumbly mixture of clay & silt and limestone.
