2014 Ghislaine Barthod, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Charmes 1x750ml

Robert Parker 94

"Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1Er Cru les Charmes from Ghislaine Barthod has a ripe and generous bouquet with generous red berry fruit, spice and subtle undergrowth scents-complex and beautifully defined. The palate is very well balanced with fine delineation, quite sensual in the mouth with beautifully integrated oak and a sensual, silky smooth finish that attests to some very thoughtful winemaking. What a gorgeous and utterly sublime wine. Tasted September 2017." [Neal Martin, 31/10/2017]

Medium red Raspberry, minerals, roast coffee and sexy soil tones on the inviting nose The creamy red berry and floral flavors are lifted by menthol and spice notes This alluring young Charmes boasts excellent sucrosite and texture for the vintage Finishes with ripe tannins and excellent length Should offer early accessibility but really needs cellaring to deliver on its inherent complexity [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2017]
