Such a pretty nose. Red berries - tight and crunchy with some crushed petals too. Just so enticing and proper pinoté character. On the palate there is more of this, but there is surprising intensity too. Some bones as well - not angular - but not as silky and sleek as the attack would suggest. This does remain a charmer though, but with more guts than anticipated this year.L&S (Nov 2022)

Popping with delicate rosebuds on the nose, this has oodles of strawberries and sweet spice, too. Supple, fresh and giving, this is the definition of Chambolle Charmes. Interestingly, these are bush vines. Rating: 94 *** Christy Canterbury MW - TimAtkin.com (Feb 2023)

The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Charmes 1er Cru has an uncomplicated bouquet with sous-bois infused red fruit, just a little diffuse at first though I find it coheres with aeration. Airy. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit, fine acidity, a little brusqueness towards the finish but I appreciate the underlying pepperiness courtesy of the stem addition.

Cask sample. Perfumed, sweet yet lifted. With an undertow of structure. And just a hint of bitterness on the end. Quite enough presence in the mouth. Quite intriguing! Drinking range: 2024 - 2036 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Nov 2022)

A slightly less intense but pretty purple, some whole bunches here. They also stretch out the fruit across the palate beautifully. This is a very deft Chambolle with plenty of nuance, extremely floral, and with a graceful structure. Rating: **** Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy  (Nov 2022)

The Faiveley family are the largest vineyard owners in Burgundy, owning around 120ha, spread across the Côtes de Nuits, Beaune and Chalonnaise and encompassing everything from generic Bourgogne up to the grandest of Grand Crus. Their holdings supply the grapes for 5 out of every 6 bottles made by Faiveley, the balance being bought in from carefully selected contract growers.

STORAGE OPTIONS:

Wines bought en primeur are scheduled to arrive in the UK over the course of the next eighteen months. If you do not wish to take home delivery, you may wish to consider where you would like the wines shipped on arrival in the UK. Lea & Sandeman offers duty paid and in bond storage through a dedicated storage company called Elephant Storage. For more details on the terms and fees associated with storage please go to our Storage Homepage or contact our primeurs team for more information.

While helpful, we do not require a firm commitment on delivery destination to process your primeur order at this stage. Our team will be in contact with you when your wines arrive in the UK to confirm the necessary delivery details.

BURGUNDY EN PRIMEUR FAQ

OFFER: All wines are offered subject to availability and final confirmation.

PRICING: All prices are quoted IN BOND ex-VAT, by the case size stated. Please double check that the desired case size does match what is being offered as wines are variously listed in threes, sixes, dozens, halves and larger formats.

DELIVERY - TIMING: This is a primeur offer so the wines are not yet physically available for delivery. They will be shipped to the UK over the next eighteen months. Generally, wines are shipped to your nominated location once the whole order has landed in our London City Bond account. If you require wines to be delivered by a certain date, please advise us at the time of ordering.

DELIVERY - FEES: In bond delivery to an Elephant Storage account (for more information see 'Storage Options' opposite) is free of charge. Transfer of wines to any third-party bond (i.e. not Elephant Storage) will incur an administration charge of £16.50 + VAT for all orders under £1,000. Please indicate if you would like the wine duty paid and a duty & VAT invoice will be raised once all the wines on your order are available for shipment. Once the relevant duty & VAT has been settled, we will ship the wines to your nominated address as per our normal duty paid Delivery Terms.

PAYMENT: All orders will be invoiced for immediate payment by cheque, cash, debit card or cleared funds to our account. We regret that we cannot accept credit cards for primeur orders. We reserve the right to apply a dunning charge of 2% per month on invoices unpaid after 30 days.
