Louis Jadot 2005 Pinot Noir (Charmes-Chambertin)
- $134
A complete wine. As it starts in the mouth, there is a feeling of everything in its place. The tannins are initially soft, dusty rather than dry; then the dark plums, red berries and so-sweet strawberries come into play. And finally, they all come together in a climax of richness and freshness.

Chanson Père et Fils 2005 Pinot Noir (Charmes-Chambertin)
- Cellar Selection
- $225
Dark in color, this is a rich, opulent, almost showy wine. The fruit is ripe, a combination of the sweetest strawberries with black cherries, laced with rich acidity. Then the tannins power in, a dry core of structure and density. Impressive and long-lasting, don’t touch this wine for another six years at least.

Joseph Drouhin 2008 Pinot Noir (Charmes-Chambertin)
- Cellar Selection
- $164
Structured, concentrated, a wine that shows power from both fruit and tannins. The opulent strawberry flavors are paralleled by firm, dry tannins. As the combination comes together, this will become a glorious wine.

Chanson Père et Fils 2007 Pinot Noir (Charmes-Chambertin)
A big, rounded wine, its acidity a foil to the ripe fruit and dusty texture. The structure is chunky and corpulent, the fruit strawberry and red plum fruit packed tightly. It is still integrating, definitely promising some long-term aging.

Chanson Père et Fils 2008 Pinot Noir (Charmes-Chambertin)
- Cellar Selection
- $190
Big, full-bodied wine, the great tannins dominating the underlying red fruit. It’s firmly concentrated, intense, a powerhouse of dense texture and obviously a wine that will need aging. Give it 5–6 years.

Domaine Henri Rebourseau 2001 Charmes Chambertin Pinot Noir (Charmes-Chambertin)
- Cellar Selection
- $240
Solid and firm, this is a wine with a considerable future. The plum and ripe berries are changing into a more mature, smoky, undergrowth character. The structure and the texture remain, with elegant perfumed fruits alongside the ripe tannins. Age for 3–4 years.

Domaine de la Vougeraie 2006 Les Mazoyères Pinot Noir (Charmes-Chambertin)
- Cellar Selection
- $149
The density of a great grand cru from Gevrey-Chambertin is all here, magnified by the concentration of dark fruits and the firmest tannins. A powerful wine, it doesn’t lose sight of ripe fruits, layered acidity and an edgy tannic structure on the finish.

Nicolas Potel 2003 Pinot Noir (Charmes-Chambertin)
- $125
Deliciously perfumed fruit, with new-wood richness topped by solid tannins here. This is a dense, chewy wine but also one that offers plenty of juicy, black fruit flavors. Big and bold, it will also age well.
— R.V.
