Louis Jadot Charmes Chambertin 2015 skus_30199576 with subtle yet prevalent elementsThe 2015 Charmes Chambertin has a rounded, generous bouquet with scents of red cherries, kirsch and incense. The palate is sweet and precocious on the entry with brown spices infusing the red cherry fruit, although I found the new oak a little conspicuous towards the finish. I would look for more refinement once this grand cru is in bottle.
