Log in / Sign up Domaine La Pousse D'Or Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru 2021
Les Charmes is the largest and arguably the most famous of Chambolle-Musigny's Premier Cru climats, located at the base of the Côte d'Or escarpment in Burgundy. It is planted entirely to Pinot Noir and makes a style of wine that is classically Chambolle-Musigny: floral and delicate with silky tannins.
The vineyard covers 9.5 hectares (23 acres) in the centre of the appellation about halfway between the Bonnes-Mares and Le Musigny Grand Cru vineyards. The top half of the climat, near Chambolle-Musigny village, is fairly flat, but the eastern part of the vineyard slopes down toward Vougeot. This aspect helps give the vineyard a terroir worthy of its prestige and fame: along with Les Amoureuses, it is one of the most sought-after Premier Cru wines from Chambolle-Musigny.
Roast Duck with Cherry or Cranberry Sauce
A fresh, if restrained and equally cool nose of red and blue pinot fruit, along with plenty of floral and spice elements, sets the stage.
On the palate, intense and super-sleek middleweight flavors emerge, possessing a polished mouthfeel and delivering very fine length on the moderately austere, dusty, and compact finale, characteristic of the wine's Charmes-style profile.
