Tasting note
40% was planted in 1930, 1998 40%, and 20% in the 1950s which makes for an average vine age of around 60, if my maths is right. There was little frost damage here, enabling a yield of 45 hl/ha. A solid mid yellow. The fruit is immediately attractive, actually a very classical Charmes, with a fine thread of acidity as well. Some tannins at the end. We are in the lower part, hence more massive in style. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted Oct 2022.
Score: 92-94
