Faiveley Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru Les Charmes 2019

95 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$210 list] A ripe red, with macerated cherry, black currant, sandalwood, vanilla and stone flavors carried by a vibrant structure. Linear and fused to finely grained tannins as this lingers on the spice- and mineral-tinged finish. Fine energy here. Best from 2026 through 2047. 270 cases made, 45 cases imported. (5/31/22)"

95 points James Suckling: "The name says it all! Here is the charming and filigree pinot noir the world expects from Chambolle-Musigny. Very fine tannins and excellent concentration are married to lively acidity that make this dance on your palate. The long, delicate finish doesn’t want to let go. Drink or hold. (7/26/21)"

Charmes is Chambolle's largest, and perhaps best known, premier cru vineyard. The soil is largely alluvial pebbles scattered over a bed of fractured limestone. It produces archetypal Chambolle: lightish, delicate, almost vibrating with energy.
