Charmes Chambertin 1990 Faiveley

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (93)

Faiveley offers a strong line-up of grands crus from the Cote de Nuits. The 1990 Charmes-Chambertin is the best wine he has produced from that vineyard since 1985. Typical of a top-notch Charmes, it exhibits a seductive, already developed bouquet of smoked duck, sweet, jammy black fruits, and spicy new oak. In the mouth, the wine is fat and sweet, with low acidity and light tannins. The finish is like eating candy given its velvety texture and chewy, fleshy, jammy fruitiness.
