2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes, Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion

2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes, Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion

This vineyard is planted with very old vines, and they produce a wine of incredible substance and precision. Using 25% whole bunches the wine shows a certain seriousness, density and texture. A little note of aniseed and violet with exceptionally fine tannin on the palate, this is a wine that shows both the complexity and accessibility of the vintage.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru comes from three parcels and includes 25% whole bunch. This has a classy bouquet with touches of freshly-rolled tobacco and graphite infusing the dark berry fruit, as hints of iris flower surface over time and remain subtle throughout. There is wonderful definition here. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh with disarming purity on the entry, slightly chalky tannins and a little confit fruit toward the finish. Stylish and suave, this is very seductive but there is structure and substance to suggest it will age well in bottle. Excellent.

(92—94)/100

A medium to full purple, with a depth of warmer raspberry fruit on the nose. Bright fruit, medium depth, a little point of acidity, livened up by the whole bunches, slightly more persistent. Some tannins at the back waiting to refine. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Oct 2024.
