Faiveley Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Les Charmes"

The “Les Charmes” parcel is situated in the center of the village, just after “Les Amoureuses”, equidistant from “Musigny” and “Les Bonnes-Mares”. This parcel produces a charming, subtle and delicate wine.

Winemaker notes

Intense ruby red color and an attractive nose offering fresh red fruits, sweet spices, oaky notes and a touch of smoke. The palate is smooth and persistent with fruity, oaky notes that linger on the finish. This Chambolle-Musigny is a remarkably elegant wine with silky smooth tannins and a very distinctive finish.

2021

Wine Advocate 90-92: The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes wafts from the glass with aromas of cherries, plums, vine smoke, spices and petals. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, with melting tannins and a pretty, giving profile, it will show well on release.

2022

Burghound 91-93♥: Once again moderate wood is present on the more floral-infused nose of bright cherry, spice and exotic tea scents. The refined but quite punchy medium weight flavors exude a bracing salinity on the mildly austere, tension-filled and beautifully long finish. This is refined but it's not necessarily a Charmes of lace and grace as focused power lurks in the background and thus some forbearance is in order.

Wine Advocate 93-95: Wafting from the glass with pretty aromas of raspberries, rose petals, peonies and spices, Faiveley's 2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes is medium to full-bodied, supple and suave, with a cool and concentrated core of fruit, melting tannins and a long, mineral finish. It's especially strong this year.
