Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes is a Premier Cru red Burgundy from the Côte de Nuits. Les Charmes is often considered the most representative of the Chambolle style, located on a plateau of thin soil over hard limestone. Barthod’s interpretation in 2012 focuses on elegance and lace-like tannins, achieved through gentle punch-downs and careful oak integration. The 2012 season produced low yields of concentrated fruit with excellent balance. It shows characteristic notes of peony, wild strawberry and a distinct silken mouthfeel that persists on the finish.

Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes from Domaine Ghislaine-Barthod has a satisfying and slightly meaty, red berry nose that develop a ferrous tincture with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a keen line of acidity, more harmony and depth than the Chambolle Charmes from Hudelot-Noëllat, with a poised, slightly spiced finish. This is very fine and exudes personality, though I wonder whether it will have the longevity of its peers?
91 Vinous
Dark red. Black fruit aromas show a medicinal reticence. Much less sweet than the Beaux-Bruns, in fact rather classically dry today, revealing a menthol quality to its blackberry and licorice flavors. In a distinctly dark style, less fruity and more mineral-driven--and ultimately more complex.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2015
