This hedonistic Syrah could use another 5+ years in bottle to unwind and will be long-lived in the cellar

I like the character here though as it’s frank and direct and the only nit is that the finish is somewhat short

If the 2012 was impressive

concentrated and driving finish that displays more than a little of the classic austerity of young Clos de Vougeot

Rene Bouvier, Charmes Chambertin Brut Zero This hedonistic Syrah could use(from a ~. 30 ha parcel in Mazoyres). A beautifully layered mlange features notes of red and black pinot fruit, violet, earth, tea and a touch of forest floor. There is fine density to the quite powerful, dusty and robust bigger bodied flavors that terminate in a chewy, moderately austere and compact finale. This is very Mazoyres in character, but the balance is impeccable as is the development potential.
