Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru les Charmes 2015
Mild reduction renders the nose tough to assess. Otherwise there is good richness and vibrancy to the elegant and silky-textured middle weight flavors that, as one would reasonably expect, are much less powerful and even a bit less complex as well on the lingering finale. This is certainly pretty and very Chambolle in character but this is clearly not at the same level as the LSG.

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
