92-94 Jasper Morris, MW - Inside Burgundy

Pale lemon and lime, the bouquet of the Charmes offers significantly more weight than any of the village cuvees, with the faintest of positive reductions, not especially a feature at this domaine. Fine density of white pears with some yellower plum notes, lightly saline at the finish, very attractively balanced and persistent. Tasted: 10/1/2021.

93 Allen Meadows - Burghound

Restrained if elegant and very pretty aromas are comprised by notes of essence of poached pear, spice, just sliced citrus and a whiff of acacia blossom. Here too the medium-bodied flavors are both caressing and seductive before tightening up on the sappy, chalky and equally dry finale that is shaped by lemon-tinged acidity. This beauty of a Charmes is quite firm and will need the better part of a decade to realize its full potential.
