The 2005 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes Vieilles Vignes offers sweet cherry aromas somewhat over-decorated with oaky vanilla, toast and resin. Flatteringly creamy and substantial in texture, its jammy fruit exhibits an overlay of caramel and vanilla, and a slightly animal, reduced note. The elements here may integrate and show more finesse with time. Laurent says he lost some of his earlier sources for village Chambolle and is reconstructing his program.
