(90% of the fruit comes from En Charlemagne in Pernand with the remainder from Le Charlemagne in Aloxe; the total holding is 3 ha). Here too there is just enough post-bottling reduction to overshadow what appears to be ripe fruit. On the palate there is good size, weight and volume to the succulent, indeed almost plump, middle weight plus flavors that also exude a lovely bead of minerality on the sappy and youthfully austere finale. This is definitely relatively forward for a young CC and a wine that should be reasonably approachable earlier than usual.
