Tasting notes
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru includes 50% whole bunch this year. It has a more extravagant, outgoing bouquet compared to Mugneret’s other 2018s, coming across quite sensual, with kirsch, orange zest and light rose petal aromas. The medium-bodied palate offers ripe tannins and a creamier texture than I was expecting, with perhaps more oak to be subsumed with bottle age. Give it three or four years in bottle.

Barrel sample. Deep crimson-purple. Intense and beautifully scented with both ripe fruit and a floral sweetness. So expressive and aromatic even now. Pure, taut and scented from start to finish. Openly aromatic with a fine structure to allow the fruit to sing. Fresh and long. (JH)
