Chambolle Musigny, Les Charmes, 1er Cru, 2011

Suave, ripe, smooth and floral, shades of rock salt and mineral. Voluptuous, seductive fruit flavours of griotte, summer berry and kirsch, gorgeous texture and so ripe without being remotely flat or heavy; stunning vivacity. A great Charmes. Charmes is very distinct from the Cras, Véroilles or Fuées being one of the lower Chambolle vineyards. One of the earliest of Barthod’s vineyard parcels to ripen, its wines are always very flamboyant and full.
