The Echezeaux 2008 from Grivot is closing down. The bouquet is a rather dark expression of pinot fruit, without the red notes and minerality one find in many 2008 reds. On the palate also rather dark, with quite good concentration and length. Maybe a bit to much extraction ... but otherwise very …
Joseph Roty, Charmes Chambertin 2001
The Charmes Chambertin 2001 from Roty is a big old school Burgundy. Quite mature bouquet with wonderful sweet aromas of pinot fruit.

On the palate one could hope for a little more concentration, and it's lacking some freshness like a lot of …
