Domaine De La Vougeraie Charmes-Chambertin Les Mazoyères Grand Cru 2010

A background application of wood spice is sufficiently subtle to allow the otherwise intensely earthy, fresh, cool and agreeably pure aromas of wild red berries to shine. The reserved and quite powerful flavours are tightly wound, backward and overtly austere with excellent power and mid-palate concentration before terminating in a driving finish that delivers outstanding length. This is an absolute knockout and the old vines really show.
