93/95

The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru showed a little less reduction on the nose. It has attractive cranberry and tayberry scents and the 40% whole bunch imparts a subtle pepperiness. The delineation is fine. The palate is medium-bodied with finely interwoven tannins. It is very poised, with heightened mineralité here and a persistent finish that lingers. Quite classically styled, this is a Chambolle with oodles of panache.

92/94

Bursting with aromas of cherries, plums, blood orange and spices, the 2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes is medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with an expressive core of fruit, supple tannins and a long, lively finish.

92/94

30% whole bunches. A fine fresh mid purple. The bouquet is bursting with lively fruit, raspberry with a hint of strawberry. The Charmes has a firmer structure, from old vines that didn’t yield above 30 hl/ha. A more muscular style of Charmes, with slightly more tannins.

91/93

(from a .23 ha parcel; 30% whole cluster). A restrained, elegant and airy nose is beautifully layered with its combination of red and dark raspberry, spice, lavender and violet. There is a really lovely texture to the tension-filled and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the balanced and beautifully long finish that would also benefit from developing more depth. Lovely and very Charmes in style.
