90-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .66 ha parcel). This is also attractively bright and fresh with its combination of various red berries, lavender and a suggestion of exotic tea. Here too the mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is highly seductive with a bit more punch that carries over the mildly tangy, dusty and bitter pit fruit-inflected finale. Drink: 2029+.

Thanks to John Gilman's diligent research, we know that not all Charmes are created equal: "[Bertheau's] vines are situated on the more northerly half of this fairly large premier cru, which to my mind is the sweet spot of the vineyard...It ages beautifully and is one of the best wines in the Bertheau cellars, year in and year out and probably the very best value to be found amongst François Bertheau’s lineup...[At] maturity it shares with [Amoureuses] a silky, velvety palate impression, beautiful notes of cherries and Chambolle’s inimitable beetroot character, lovely spice and floral tones and a beautiful base of limestone soil...a great bottle of Chambolle!"
