"The 2017 Chambolle “Charmes” from Madame Barthod is truly a beautiful wine in the making. The bouquet is pure, refined and sappy, wafting from the glass in a vibrant mix of plums, cherries, violets, chalky soil tones, peonies, raw cocoa and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows off excellent mid-palate depth, with lovely focus and grip, suave tannins and a very long, primary and sappy finish. This is a beautiful bottle in the making, but I would try to leave it alone for a full decade and let it completely blossom before starting to have at it in earnest, for underneath the beautifully sappy fruit is a wine with a very good structural chassis."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
2017 in Burgundy delivered generous yields and fresh, elegant wines; the whites are especially fine, bright and precise, while the reds are charming, supple and aromatic, drinking well relatively early.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
