Tasting notes
Leroy's 2011 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes is exquisitely elegant and refined in this vintage, unfurling in the glass with notions of raspberries and plums mingled with hints of exotic spices, potpourri, loamy soil and musk. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and sensual, with melting tannins and an ample core of concentrated fruit, it's only just entering its drinking window.

The 2011 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes races out of the blocks on the nose, misbehaving like Lalou’s two dogs that are yapping around my ankles. Then it clams down with aeration, achieving more delineation and focus but still constituting one of the more exotic bouquets in this line-up. The palate is sweet in the mouth, corpulent and rounded, you could say almost nubile. Lavish, plush and caressing, this voluptuous Chambolle is one for those who prefer a more hedonistic style of Pinot?and why not. Aug 2013, www.robertparker.com
