Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes from Hudelot-Noëllat was showing a lot of reduction on the nose that was difficult to shake off—rather meaty and truffle-heavy underneath that veneer. The oak comes across a little strongly here. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannin on the entry; indeed, this feels a little dusty and awkward even if the finish feels quite long and persistent. Hopefully it will improve with bottle age. Tasted September 2017.

Rich sweet and full of fruit. Now at last this is a charming 2014 from this producer! (JR)
(also in cuve due to reduction): Healthy medium red. Blackberry, cassis, spices and earth on the nose; still showing a trace of reduction. At once supple and juicy, displaying lovely minty lift and delineation to the dark berry and spicy oak flavors. Fresh, juicy wine with noteworthy cut.
