with a few short periods of heat

There’s a tremendous saline character to the long finish

yet has plenty of stuffing and flesh to offset the austere tannins

the wine is put in French oak casks of 228 liters (15% of new oak) for both of alcoholic and malolactic fermentations with wild yeasts and wild anaerobic bacteria during 16 months

Louis Jadot Charmes Chambertin 2015 skus_33460 with a few short periodsThe 2015 Charmes Chambertin has a rounded, generous bouquet with scents of red cherries, kirsch and incense. The palate is sweet and precocious on the entry with brown spices infusing the red cherry fruit, although I found the new oak a little conspicuous towards the finish. I would look for more refinement once this grand cru is in bottle.
