Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Oct 19
The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru has an intense bouquet with layers of red fruit, blood orange, brown spices and even a touch of lemongrass (something more normally found on whites, although it does work here). The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins that impart a fleshy mouthfeel. This feels very harmonious and, although there is more new oak to be assimilated, ultimately I feel this will turn into a very serious, more modern style Chambolle-Musigny. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

Cask sample. Mid purplish crimson. Seductively sweet fruit. So wonderfully expressive with cherries and a fine stony character adding complexity. Drier on the palate than I expected and notably firmer than the Vieilles Vignes. Chalk-fine but compact tannins and a long, fresh finish. (JH)
