Camus Pere & Fils Charmes-Chambertin

This bottle was excellent but showed heavier and just slightest bit more of the hot vintage on display. 92+

2003 vintage

Mature red burgundy nose with farmyards and manure. Palate was light, and no tannin left. Past the prime.

This was pretty reassuring for me. With our local retailer direct importing several Camus wines between ‘99 vintage and ‘03, I tried to sort through them and buy what I found to be the best of them as they can be tremendous values if you sort through them prudently. Shared this one with Xavier94 and I concur with his great note.

2003 vintage

(out of 750ml) Wow, this very complete with an array of classic Burgundy notes taking form; anise-infused red cherry and raspberry coulis/sauce with pine-laden forest floor scents, rose garden and cinnamon spice. Rich and spicy with integrated tannin, revealing a spicy beef broth/umami textural component that really takes this to Grand Cru level performance. Terrific layering/complexity on this bottle and while still developing, of course, this is compelling stuff!

2003 vintage

(tasted from Magnum/1.5L) This is a riper, more primary fruit nose compared to the '03 Latricieres from Camus and while the fruit is more lush, forward and smoother in the mouth, the aromatics are tighter and less interesting than the Latricieres (for me). Lots of cooked cherries and currants celery salt/root vegetable nuances and truffle come forth with the leading fruit. This particular bottle should age quite a bit yet as there is plenty of midpalate sap that I don't …

2003 vintage

Cork disintegrated. Good tertiary characteristics on nose but palate a bit thin and slightly acidic. Unlike most 2003 Burgs. Drink up.

2003 vintage

Light coloured & light bodied, finesse, cherries & soil, a pretty & charming Charmes Chambertin

2003 vintage

cork broke on extraction. The wine wasn't really corked per se, but was musty and elderly. Wish I'd drink it sooner

2003 vintage

No formal note. Complex and long. Like drinking a black tea! In a good sense!

2003 vintage

Quizá no fue la mejor idea enfrentarlo a un chuletón. Gran vino en el lado delicado y floral

2003 vintage

Nose has gone tertiary but palate is OTH at this point lacking fruit.

2003 vintage

This is a firm favourite of mine, and one of the best QPRs amongst the grand crus I have ever purchased. Clear ruby, slight garnet. Floral, wet stones, mushroom and game. Light and elegant. After an hour, so much licorice then emerged. I have had this wine twice, and both times it really pleased me. Drank on anniversary with E, Adrian, SH in KL

2003 vintage

This is immediately quite effusive with penetrating aromas of manure, beetroot, salted beef/beef bourguignon with bits of aging cherry, a twist of citrus-like fruit and bit of stewed tomato on the finish. Darker and more powerful than the '99 Mazoyeres from this producer, though less intricate and tame. Lacks a bit of elegance in my opinion. Drinking well at this point.

2003 vintage

Brick red color - very advanced. Nose: red fruits (cherries), earth, mushrooms, sous bois, leather. Mouth: full bodied - mature taste, medium acidity, red fruits (strawberry, cherries), silky and elegant, interesting tannic bite, very long (35 sec finish). This wine tasted older than it actually is. 93 pt.

2003 vintage

A very pleasant surprise. It has a bare hint of the Dujac signature and also isn’t roasted or candied in any way. In fact medium bricked with nice secondary notes and development. Blinded one would never guess the vintage. A fine Thursday drink.

2003 vintage

fully mature. Still really wonderful. Drink now.

2003 vintage

Crystal clear in the glass. Very pale but with hints of brown age. Clearly in its mature phase by colour but the nose is also predominantly secondary notes of mushrooms. Extremely smooth. No tannins. So light and delicate. In a perfect drinking spot. This is punching far, far above its reputation. I was extremely pleased with this.

2003 vintage

I did not get enough floral or fruit aroma from this wine, as I expected to have in Charmes Chambertin. Good acidity and still enough tannin for the mouth, though. I will not open another bottle for another 5 years, and I wish the secondary note will be different. 20200919 對酒當歌，日料禾月居。Completely different experience compared with previous drinking. Floral and fruity scent filled the glass. Tannin is soft. In a good drinking window. Maybe a bit too sweet and elegance was …

2003 vintage

Solid, rich and a wonderful nose of spices. The wine brings a great finish to a great day and pared beautifully with Karen's pasta of artichoke, sun dried tomatoes and chicken. Drink now. Day 2: profoundly fuller bodied and deep. Oh, how I wish I could nail it and pull a bottle at this stage every week.... wow.

2003 vintage

Color: medium carmine core -> fully mature garnet rim. Waited about 60 minutes to assess . . . bouquet of grilled cherries, iodine and iron and forest floor. Medium bodied palate showing a little souis bois, cherries again, a touch of balsamic and sea salt with minerals. Held at this level for about 2 hours before falling off. Strikes me as being at the end of its plateau of maturity if not already starting down. Drink soon.

2003 vintage

Elegant from start to finish

2003 vintage

Finesse at it finest. Beautiful.

2003 vintage

Popped, poured and sucked down the entire bottle... yikes--only done that twice before! This was delish: resiny, strawberry and well balanced. It was just in a really good spot and kept its depth and balance from dinner thru the late evening. I will drink the last two over the next year as I dont see room for improvement in condition or score. Wish I could afford more (recent) vintages...

2003 vintage

Gorgeous strawberry notes mixed with pine resin and a most compelling finish with suave fruit, a nuance of oak and an evenly balanced profile. This is a wine with pedigree that really excelled under crazy conditions. We drank this last night with roasted chicken and tonight I closed down the botton third with salmon. I really wish the 05 had been priced around the $50's like this, but alas--our week dollar made it impossible. Nonetheless, those with a few dollars …

2003 vintage

This blew me away. Very elegant wine, some new world characteristics on the nose, with a background of cigar box and forest floor. Palate is very refined with a sweet back-end. This was great from the get-go.

2003 vintage

Good. Gamey and animal with marks of the vintage very present. If you are looking for Dujac-ness you won't find it here.

2003 vintage

My oh My! Opened this the other night with the folks as a back up bottle. Initially showing Gevrey characteristics of strawberry and earth. Tonight: a blockbuster! Tons of depth, richness and a slight iodine finish that was intriguing and tasty. I have been amazed at how some burgs can really dominate on the second day; the first seems almost subdued and linear. I will have to search out some 05's (if the tariff isn't too high). Should drink for …

2003 vintage

Over a couple nights this wine really improved. Initially a very average wine, with a night of air, it filled out and gained weight and complexity. closed with some warm rich earthy flavors that paired well with pork roast and a seahawk victory! drink over the next 10 years.

2003 vintage

Full-bodied, lots of ripe fruit and chocolate notes. However, unlike many other '03 Burgs I already tried, this one has a very strong and classic earthy tones backed by solid tannins. Drinkable now, but will probably benefit from short-term cellaring. This one should fill the period while 2002's will come around.
