2019 Christian Clerget, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru, Les Charmes 1x75cl

Vinous – 93

The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Charmes 1er Cru has a perfumed bouquet with raspberry, wild strawberry, rose petal and potpourri scents that all gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, fine grip and muscle with a Morey-like structure on the finish. This will require 3-4 years in bottle, though on this showing it will evolve into a very fine, quite long-lived Charmes. [Neal Martin, 21/01/2021]

Anticipated maturity: 2024-2040

Jasper Morris – 92-94

Excellent glowing purple, with a liveliness that continues on to the palate, with a sweet ripe raspberry note and enough acidity behind. This is still in the domaine’s refined and unobtrusive style, but with very good length. [01/11/2020]

Burghound – 90-93

A highly perfumed and vaguely exotic nose offers up notes of red berries, lavender, rose petal and a hint of cinnamon. The super-sleek, intense and more concentrated flavors exude a refreshing salinity on the balanced, long and more complex finale. Lovely. [10/01/2021]
