Wine Advocate-Parker : Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Charmes-Chambertin 2011 from Chanson has a more understated bouquet that demands more coaxing, eventually revealing spicy red cherries, wild strawberry and cooked meat scents that draw you in. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe tannins. It feels quite solid in the mouth: good weight but missing a modicum on tension, therefore the finish is missing the finesse and grace one is looking for in a top Charmes-Chambertin.
