Note du Guide Hachette des Vins : 2**(Vin remarquable) + Coup de Coeur
"Charmes is a beautiful, sparkling ruby color, with a flattering, ripe nose of Morello cherry in alcohol and undergrowth, and a hint of saltiness. This invigorating note is echoed in a palate of great finesse, clean, silky, airy and sufficiently structured to withstand long cellaring (eight to ten years). A true chambolle. Only one flaw: its confidentiality". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014)
