Chambolle Musigny, Les Charmes, 1er Cru, 2012

Floral, long and complex. Powerful, broad and opulent, rich in flavour, showing notes of forest berry fruit, creme de mûre, red berries, asian spice and fresh-cut flowers. 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.
