Charmes-Chambertin 1988***: Red almost black, an 88 with impressive depth, so long it is impossible to distinguish the finish. Quite simply, it bursts with fruit and will give lots of pleasure to those who are lucky enough to drink it at least ten years from now.

Mazis-Chambertin 1988***: A wine with lots of character, liquorice, blackcurrant seeds, quite closed of course but structured and powerful. Sincere, it bears its name and vintage perfectly.

Chambertin 1988***: "I would like us to be sincere," insisted Alceste. There is no need to insist with this Chambertin. The colour of Célimène but infinitely more sincere and generous...Expressive and well-made, an 88 that will age well and would have made Alceste much less misanthropic.
