Tasting notes
A wine of total charm and sensuality, the 2014 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes embodies the essence of Chambolle. That's all there is to it. I could describe the red-toned flavors or floral notes, but the Charmes is above all else a wine that speaks to balance and completeness. Although the Charmes is not the most complex or pedigreed wine in this lineup, it is among the most delicious and rapturously beautiful today. I loved it.

The 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1Er Cru les Charmes was showing just a little reduction, but behind lies voluminous mulberry and blackcurrant fruit, here edging more towards the dark side of the fruit spectrum. The palate is quite dense, full in the mouth with a gentle grip, some salinity towards the finish, although it is yet to discover is "flow" on the finish that at the moment just feels a little static. That will develop once it is in bottle.
