2008 Charmes-Chambertin, Grand Cru, Camille Giroud, Burgundy

Plum, cherry, red liquorice, smoked meat, and beef marrow dominate the Camille Giroud 2008 Charmes-Chambertin, with a tart sense of rhubarb entering the palate, offset by a deep richness of cocoa powder and persistent seamlessly ripe sweet cherry and plum. This combines richness, carnal depth, and vintage-typical invigoration for an impressive performance that should play well for at least ten years.
