Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “Les Charmes” Reviews

Score: 87 | April 15, 2013 | Burghound.com
Here too there is a discreet hint of wood framing the more elegant and more complex ripe and dark berry fruit suffused nose. There is a lovely mouth feel to the lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that don't quite have the same phenolic ripeness of the villages though the supporting tannins are certainly finer. There is also a noticeable touch of warmth on otherwise clean and agreeably dry if mildly astringent finish. In sum, this is more refined and a bit more complex but the Chardannes is better balanced and pound for pound a better wine.

Year's Best Burgundy (Oct 2013). Cherry-rich and cushioned with full, meaty fruit, this feels round and complete. The floral notes suggest some of the complexity that may develop with bottle age.

Rich, laced with black cherry, bitter chocolate and earth flavors, this red turns firm and lean by the finish. Just a little dry on balance overall.
