Tasting notes
Mid cherry red. Much more intensely fruited on the nose, ripe but fresh cherries. More classic Chambolle than the village wine, with silky tannins and lively, edgy red fruit and excellent freshness. (JH)

The 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1Er Cru les Charmes comes from vines around 60-years-old. I like the volume and purity here -- just joyful black cherry and cassis fruit with an underlying mineralité that comes through more and more with time. The palate is crisp and slightly chalky in texture, grippy in the mouth, much more masculine that the nose suggests with firm structure imparting linearity towards the lightly peppered finish. This is an excellent Chambolle Charmes that will drink well over the next 8-15 years.
