2019 Amiot Servelle Chambolle Musigny 1er Charmes

From a massive 1.30 hectare parcel in the heart of les Charmes, principally from older 60-70 year old vines with marginally less topsoil than les Plantes, on zee motherock. This is somewhat of a flagship for the estate, and a great one at that. Classic les Charmes is always both rich, broad, yet remarkably lithe with that mineral underpinning animating it all with driving depth. This is Classic Complete Charmes, and got a little star in the June session. (my impression of the 2014, NOT THE 2019 OFFERED HERE)

“”(from a 1.15 ha parcel; 27% whole clusters). Here the wood is a bit more prominent though by no means invasive to the nicely spicy nose of mostly dark currant and poached plum nuances. The palate impression of the bigger medium-bodied flavors is surprisingly mineral-driven with fine backend energy on the dusty, compact and equally serious finale that isn’t quite as complex, at least not at present.
