Critics Ratings
‘Round and inviting. Shows milk chocolate, plum and mineral notes, with ample tannins that are soft and well-integrated. On the forward side, yet there's no rush to drink it.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100
‘Slightly grey crimson. Quite a rich nose – macerated cherries this time. Sweetness on the front palate though without the lift of the Cazetiers. A bit stodgy. Competent but very earthbound. Grainy dry tannins. Bit austere and dead. Metallic streak on the finish.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRrobinson.com, 16/20 (Sep 2007)
‘Medium red. Flowers, red cherry and animal fur on the nose. Supple, sweet and elegant; in a rather subtle style, showing less power than the Cazetiers but much easier to taste today. This is Charmes of premier cru weight, but it builds nicely and lingers well on the back end. The tannins here are rather gentle.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (March 2005)
