The Charmes Chambertin 2001 from Roty is a big old school Burgundy. Quite mature bouquet with wonderful sweet aromas of pinot fruit. A bit rustic but also showing fine complexity with hints of forest bed. This is really a big wine, good length sweet aromas and a very firm structure behind the ripe …

Also quite open on the palate, with quite some lush coulis fruit. Would have expected a more closed wine, but the 2002s seems like they are …
