Score 93/100 · Drink 2001-2010, Pierre Rovani, Oct 1999

The medium to dark ruby-colored 1997 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes has a sublimely feminine and elegant nose of violets and roses. Gorgeously silky, dense, powerful, and intense, it is crammed with fresh, lively black fruits and red cherries. Long, refined, extremely flavorful, and well-structured, this wine should be at its peak between 2001-2010. Importers: Martine's Wines, Inc., San Rafael, CA; tel (415) 485-1800, and Paterno Imports, Chicago, IL; tel (847) 604-8900.

Score 90-93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Dark red. Sauvage nose offers musky, wild, deep aromas of fraise des bois, roast coffee and minerals. Silky, thick and seamless, with a lively mineral character contributing firmness. Very rich but evolving slowly. The firm tannins are outlasted by very persistent fruit.
