2019 Frederic Magnien Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Charmes’ Vieilles Vignes

BH91-93♥ This is also quite reserved, yet aggressive swirling helps to liberate the very spicy nose that also reflects notes of cassis and black raspberry and subtle floral suggestions. The super-sleek and wonderfully refined medium weight flavors also possess lovely cut and a seductive texture before culminating in a saline, youthfully austere and beautifully persistent finish. Like the Noirots and the Feusselottes, this could use more depth, but more should almost certainly develop and my predicted range assumes that it will.
East-facing, ‘Charmes’ sits at the same altitude and is close to premier cru ‘Amoureuses.’ Soils are mostly brown limestone, with solid limestone subsoils. Vine age 50-70 years, some more than 100 years. Fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks. Aged in older barrels and clay jars. Unfined and unfiltered.

aromas and flavors. This wine has a seamlessly silky texture and a long, pure finish.
