Produced from 0.81ha of old vines in the original Charmes section, just underneath Chambertin, where the grapes have delivered an incredibly aromatic wine with ripe plummy fruit, exotic spice, smoke and mineral notes. This has a silky texture, but does not lack the backbone of the best Gevrey Grands Crus. Truly impressive.

(93-95 points) The Charmes-Chambertin is a blend of Domaine fruit (ex Dupont-Tisserandot) and purchased grapes from the neighbour, vinified separately then blended. This has just a light reductive nose before the sweet strawberries and cream kick in. It is ripe, not unbalanced, the reduction reprising towards the finish. Fine length again.

(93 - 95 points) Aromas of cassis, orange rind, smoked meats and loamy soil introduce Faiveley's 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, layered and demonstrative wine that's concentrated and succulent, with an ample core of ripe fruit framed by velvety tannins and lively acids. This is another especially fine cuvée this year.- WK

(91-94 points) A pungent nose of reduction and wood is tough to read at present. Otherwise, the rich and caressing yet powerful and relatively robust flavors possess excellent size and weight along with very solid concentration where the abundant dry extract does a fine job of buffering the firm tannic spine shaping the youthfully austere and impressively long finish.

(90-92 points) The 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from Faiveley’s acquisition of Domaine Dupont-Tisserandot. Most of this parcel was pulled out, and the fruit comes from a neighbor’s parcel, which is why it is not "Domaine." The nose feels a bit static and needs more cohesion; it offers light chalky scents and wet limestone, but I would have liked more fruité. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and slightly lactic in texture. Just a touch of reduction on the finish, but decent length. Not bad, although this is surpassed by Faiveley’s own Clos Vougeot and Echézeaux. -- Neal Martin
