It is a great red wine produced by Thierry Germain of Domaine Roches Neuves in Saumur
This 100% Chardonnay comes from a single vineyard named "Refugio" in the Casablanca Valley
but there's plenty of concentration and energy driving the long firm finish
spicy complexity and a sappy freshness on the finish
but the richness of the fruit and the extraordinary silkiness of the tannins bode for an immensely rewarding life ahead
Domaine Arlaud Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 2020 Disznoko It is a great redThe 2020 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru, matured in 15% new oak, showed just a tiny morsel of reduction on the nose, that the concentration here was still tangible. The palate is medium bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, taut and fresh and very precise. This has real class and verve, though it will benefit from several years in bottle. 95 Pts Vinous
