Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes Cuvée du Tilleul Laurent Ponsot Les Charmes Cuvee Du Tilleul Laurent Ponsot 2019

The wine

This Chambolle-Musigny is exceptionally aptly named after its climat (distinct vineyard site, with its own unique microclimate and terroir, producing), thanks to its delicate, floral style. Originally, ‘Les Charmes’ was the name given to a piece of wasteland where a few copses of hornbeam grew. Today, the Pinot Noir vines, ideally facing south-west, climb on the clay-limestone soils. Each stage of the process, both in the vineyard and in the winery, is conducted rigorously, with as little intervention as possible, to allow the Chambolle-Musigny terroir to express its personality as naturally as possible.
The elegant ruby colour is accented by bright reflections. The bouquet offers a heavenly range of aromas, marked by scents of rose, violet, raspberry and blood orange. The subtly full-bodied palate reveals a superb breadth where smooth tannins lead to a pure, fragrant finish. This wine promises long, delicious ageing potential.
