A rich, generous wine that seduces with pure berry flavors and velvety texture. Ripe plums flavors give it roundness, while the tannins are almost muted at the end.

Almost black in color, this wine, from vines close to Bonnes Mares, shows its structure immediately. Power and ripeness combine well with flavors of damsons, dark plums and chocolate. To finish, the acidity leaves a fresh, clean aftertaste.

This Les Charmes lives up to its name, with beautifully sweet fruit and opulent blackberry and cherry flavors. Yet there is structure, too, and this gives the wine power and good potential for aging.

The real attraction of this wine is its delicious, perfumed fruit, which sings above the firm tannins. It is immediately encticing, with pure flavors and soft aftertaste.
