The 1994 Charmes-Chambertin is outstanding. The wine's saturated deep ruby/purple color is followed by a big, smoked meat, black-cherry, and vanillin-scented nose, superb depth, excellent ripeness and richness, light tannin, medium to full body, and a long finish. Accessible now, this wine should continue to drink well for 7-8 years. I'm positive that too many 1994 red Burgundies fall well short of these heights.
Most Burgundy observers would agree that this is one of the up and coming domaines from the Cote d'Or. Thank goodness, because Geantet-Pansiot is in Gevrey-Chambertin, a village overflowing with great terroirs and under-achieving vignerons and negociants.
