Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Delicate, elegant and delicious is my read of the Pinot Noir in this bottle from Chateau des Charmes.

Harvested from a single vineyard, this creation had been in contact with 100% French new oak for 16 months, yet its aroma - flavour profile does not amply oak. Rather, red fruit notes - especially cherries - stand Centre stage although in a minimalist expression and in collaboration with pleasing smoky, savoury spice accents.

I like how its texture feels. Medium bodied, extra die, velvety, with low key tannins and a finish that does not over stay its welcome.

As an aside, I’d like to open a bottle from this vintage in a few years because I’m curious to know whether or how the delicate notes would develop over time.

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Beautifully balanced Pinot Noir with aromas of cherry, cranberry, leather, graphite, and warm woody spices. Medium bodied, with medium acidity, slightly dry tannins and bright berry notes, with a dry and spicy finish. Enjoy with pork or cedar-planked salmon.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
