Tasting notes
One of the most captivating wines of the morning, the 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes is just stratospheric. I could try to describe the Charmes in all of its various elements, but the wine is so much more than that. In 2015, the Charmes is magnificently complete. I hardly know where to start. Is it the sensual aromatics that are most appealing? Or maybe it is the incredible detail and nuance that runs through the wine? Maybe it is the total finesse the Charmes shows on the palate. Well, it is all that, and so much more. The Charmes just has it all.

Domaine Leroy's 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes is spellbindingly wonderful, wafting from the glass with notes of cherry, raspberry, red plum, peony, lapsang tea and sweet spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, multidimensional and effortlessly complete, with incredible perfume, superb concentration and incredible length on the saline, penetrating finish. Of all Leroy's premier crus, this wine is the hardest to describe, since it's defined above all by its grace and harmony.
