Chambolle Musigny, Les Charmes, 1er Cru, 2021

The vines for Bruno’s Charmes were planted in the sixties and tend to bud later so this was less affected by frost in 2021. Crisp cool fruit that leans towards the darker end of the spectrum. This is quite closed and firm but you sense there’s flesh that should emerge with time. Backlit earthy notes give a savoury quality. Less open and ethereal than the Veroilles, with more density and structure.
