Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 09 Jan 20
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes is one of the high points of the range this year, unwinding to reveal a lovely bouquet of cherries, raspberries, orange rind, grilled squab, peonies, warm spices and espresso roast. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and muscular, with excellent concentration, lively acids and rich structuring tannins. This is the finest Charmes I've tasted at this address, and it comes warmly recommended.

Deepish crimson. Pretty ripe on the nose, towards the sweetness of dried red fruits. Matched on the palate. A tad too ripe for perfection but offers a deal of pleasure. Balanced and persistent. (JH)
