Duband's 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is firmer and more structured, and this is one wine that will need a little time. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of cherries, licorice, anise and cinnamon, as well as a lifted top note of potpourri, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, displaying a broad-shouldered chassis of powdery tannin.
A beautifully layered nose assembles very fresh notes of red currant, violet, lavender and earth undertones. There is both good punch and delineation to the succulent and utterly delicious medium-bodied flavors that possess a supple mid-palate that contrasts markedly with the dusty, focused and youthfully austere finish that is sufficiently firm to make clear that this is going to require at least moderate patience.
