Note di degustazione
The 2002 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes has a lucid color. The nose sprints from the blocks with lively bing cherry, mulberry and black truffle scents, perhaps a little more loose-knit than I expected yet still exuding charm. The palate is very well balanced, quite evolved compared to Lalou Bize-Leroy's other 2002s with a gravel-tinged, slightly ferrous nose . While it does not possess the complexity of its peers, this is simply a delicious, warm-hearted Chambolle-Musigny to drink now and over the next 5-10 years. Tasted January 2016.

According to Madame Leroy, her 2002 Chambolle-Musigny Charmes “reminds me of the 1964.” Its aromatic profile is hugely floral, displaying copious quantities of violet-infused cherries. A wonderful wine of purity and detail, it is medium-bodied, elegant, and displays flavors of roses, violets, cherries, as well as raspberries. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2014. Note: This estate’s 2002s are not yet released. The above estimate is based on the prices of the 2001s, taking into account that the dollar has significantly dropped.

Good deep red-ruby. Musky aromas of black raspberry and smoke. Sweet, fat and rich; a very ripe, solid style of Chambolle with complex flavors of raspberry, minerals, mocha and underbrush. Finishes very long and ripe, with tannins covered in fruit.
