Louis Latour : Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru "Les Charmes" 2020

A pretty red, almost as floral as it is fruity, displaying black cherry and black currant, violet and mineral flavors matched to a silky texture. Offers intensity, harmony and excellent length. Best from 2024 through 2038. 100 cases made, 10 cases imported.

A great wine is in the making, with a black color that is very rare in Chambolle but characteristic of the vintage, all floral on the nose, with a taffeta-like texture, ideal grape maturity, and a high alcohol level without heaviness. Long, seamless finish on the palate. Wait twelve to fifteen years.

The nose of this wine already hints at its graceful balance of fruit and spice. Sophisticated intensity of deep, crushed cherry, cranberry and pomegranate are presented on a linear palate, with a deep core of perfectly ripe red berries and a touch of salinity that resounds its precision and ripeness.
