Faiveley Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru Les Charmes 2012

90-93 points and ‘Outstanding,’ Allen Meadows (Burghound): “An ultra-elegant and intensely floral nose of red currant and raspberry aromas is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is a lacy and pure mouth feel to the lightly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that possess plenty of energy on the balanced, cool and beautifully persistent finish. A classic Charmes of harmony and grace. Drink: 2020+. (Jan 2014)”

90-93 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): “(from purchased fruit): Good bright red. Complex nose melds red berries, cardamom, flowers and soil tones. Ripe, smooth and lightly saline, with an earthy complexity giving this wine much more flavor interest than the Beaux-Bruns. In a rather feminine style, finishing with ripe tannins and subtle length.
