Complete description
Vintage Description:
The 2020 Charmail has a harmonious, quite floral bouquet with plenty of violet-tinged black fruit. I admire the purity here. The palate is well balanced with pliant tannins, well-integrated oak, a mélange of red and black fruit mixed with blood orange towards the finish. There is something almost "flirty" about this Haut-Médoc. (Neal Martin - Vinous, Dec. 2022)wine:
