Mid purple, while the fruit exhibits a slightly greater sensuality on the nose, in softer strawberry fruit style. There is a saline touch here as well, with a firmer structure behind. From a 48 month aged fine-grained barrel. The Charmes will become pleasingly ‘digeste’ I think.

The 2024 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes opens in the glass with aromas of cherry, black plum, orange rind and woodsmoke mingled with licorice, followed by a medium- to full-bodied palate that is fleshy and vibrant, supported by lively acidity and exhibiting slightly more muscular, assertive tannins than other Chambolle-Musigny bottlings this year, before concluding with a long, chalky finish.

(from a .23 ha parcel). A whiff of herbal tea can be found on the aromas of black pinot fruit, spice and a plethora of floral nuances, especially violet.

The 2024 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru comprises three new barrels this year. Again, one must contend with reduction on the nose. The palate seems to just soak up a bit more of the new wood compared to the Aux Combottes or Les Carrières although it does render the finish just a bit generic at the moment. It will need three or four years in bottle.
