Tasting notes
The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes has a refined bouquet, very pure redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is very pure on the entry with fleshy red cherry and raspberry fruit, a keen thread of acidity with a citrus-like finish. It just cuts away a little sharply on the finish, but hopefully it will flesh out by the time of bottling.

This is quite aromatically similar to the Cigales but even more elegant and a bit more complex as well. There is once again a really lovely mouth feel to the caressing, round and highly refined flavors that exude an enticing inner mouth perfume while delivering excellent length on the focused, delineated and silky finish where the sense of refinement is enhanced by the notably fine-grained tannins.
