Tasting notes
The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru has a great deal of transparency, definition and focus on the nose, with dark berry fruit, autumn leaf, black pepper and pencil shavings. Despite the warmth of the growing season, this is classically-styled. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins that encase the layered and pure red fruit. Slightly more viscous in texture than its peers, there is an exotic trait toward the finish that might put some people off. This is a hearty, corpulent and fruit-forward Chambolle equipped with the substance to mature over many years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Barrel sample. Very deep crimson. Liqueur-like. Too sweet for some palates, I suspect. Though the sample lacks a bit of freshness. (JR)
The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru has a crisp, delineated bouquet of mineral-rich blackberry and boysenberry fruit displaying wonderful tension and focus. The palate is tensile right from the start, offering succulent black fruit, a silky-smooth texture and an intense, blood-orange-infused finish. Plenty of energy here. This should turn into a superb Chambolle-Musigny.
