  (Rion Michéle & Patrice Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes) Medium, medium-plus cherry-red. The nose is quintessential Chambolle - or at least many peoples’ expectation - soft, sweet red fruit with the faintest savoury edge; it’s very pretty. Versus the domaine’s 04 Argillières there is more depth, intensity and extra ripeness. The tannins are fully covered. The acidity still has a little tartness, but this also helps hold the fresh flavours of the mouth-watering finish. The oak has much better integration here - lovely wine.
