Philippe Charlopin, Chambolle-Musigny 2020

Philippe Charlopin, a prominent figure in Burgundy, has witnessed and adapted to various trends throughout his extensive career. Initially favoring whole clusters, he later transitioned to destemmed fruit under Henri Jayer’s influence, before reintroducing some whole clusters in recent years. Charlopin’s 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Village presents aromas of raspberries, cherries, licorice, and forest floor, setting the stage for a medium to full-bodied wine with layers of succulence. It’s a commendable representation of the appellation.
