Domaine Ponsot Charmes Chambertin Cuvee des Merles 2017 |
The color is lively, from dark ruby to black cherry. The aromas suggest raspberry, blackcurrant, currant as well as kernel, licorice, spices. As well as violet, rose, and moss on the undertones. On the palate, power, opulence, and elegance unite to compose a whole and complex body, full of sap and voluptuous flesh.
Lavish and expressive, the 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée des Merles bursts from the glass with a fruit-driven bouquet of ripe cherries, licorice, spices and sweet soil that is typical of this vineyard. Full-bodied, satiny and expansive, the wine's fine structuring tannins are entirely cloaked in succulent fruit. The finish displays good length and delineation. Of all Ponsot's grands crus, this will be the best bet for near-term consumption.
