Clerget/Christian Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru Charmes 2017

The Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes comes from an east-facing one hectare block of 43 year old vines at 270 meters altitude. There is a thin layer of soil of primary limestone rock; the vines’ roots descend in the fissures of the rock. It is at once powerful, complex, structured and elegant, packed with dark fruit and mineral notes.

Bourgogne Aujourd’hui: “Lovely nose of ripe, concentrated fruits with lightly toasted notes. A good deal of substance in the mouth with fine structure and great length. (Nº 141, Jun 2018)”
