The “Les Charmes” parcel is situated in the center of the village, just after “Les Amoureuses”, equidistant from “Musigny” and “Les Bonnes-Mares”. This parcel produces a charming, subtle and delicate wine.
Intense ruby red color and an attractive nose offering fresh red fruits, sweet spices, oaky notes and a touch of smoke. The palate is smooth and persistent with fruity, oaky notes that linger on the finish. This Chambolle-Musigny is a remarkably elegant wine with silky smooth tannins and a very distinctive finish.
Burghound 90-93♥: This is also quite perfumed and more elegant with its panoply of various red berries, violet, lilac and sandalwood hints. There is a finer mouth feel to the delicious medium weight flavors primarily thanks to the finer grain of the supporting tannins that shape the caressing, lacy and beautifully well-balanced finale. This beauty should drink well young but also amply reward mid-term cellaring.
Vinous 90-93: Medium red. Explosive aromas of purple fruits, flowers, white truffle and underbrush. Creamy and concentrated, showing more depth than its relatively light color suggests. Dark berry fruit is complemented by notes of coffee, mocha and earth. Nicely plump, soil-driven Chambolle.
Wine Advocate 90-92: The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes wafts from the glass with aromas of cherries, plums, vine smoke, spices and petals. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, with melting tannins and a pretty, giving profile, it will show well on release.
Burghound 91-93♥: Once again moderate wood is present on the more floral-infused nose of bright cherry, spice and exotic tea scents. The refined but quite punchy medium weight flavors exude a bracing salinity on the mildly austere, tension-filled and beautifully long finish. This is refined but it's not necessarily a Charmes of lace and grace as focused power lurks in the background and thus some forbearance is in order.
Wine Advocate 93-95: Wafting from the glass with pretty aromas of raspberries, rose petals, peonies and spices, Faiveley's 2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes is medium to full-bodied, supple and suave, with a cool and concentrated core of fruit, melting tannins and a long, mineral finish. It's especially strong this year.
