Wine Spectator
Gorgeous, this white exudes peach, honey, spring flowers and vanilla pastry aromas and flavors. Harmonious and engaging, leaving a lemon- and spice-tinged aftertaste. (BS)

Vinous
Bright light yellow. Lovely lift to the aromas of white peach and lemon zest. Concentrated, energetic wine with solid crushed-stone minerality giving shape to the glyceral middle palate. Quite firm and backward, finishing with slowly rising length and noteworthy grip. Today the Blagny is easier to taste, which is atypical for these two wines at Matrot, but this Charmes has more density of material and potential. It will require a good four or five years of cellaring, though. (ST)

Allen Meadows - Burghound
A penetrating nose offers up notes of matchstick, petrol, essence of pear and pretty acacia scents. The generously proportioned, pliant and seductively textured medium weight flavors brim with dry extract while the solidly persistent finish also flashes a hint of natural sweetness.

K&L Notes
91 points Jasper Morris for Inside Burgundy: "Three plots but only the two near the top provided grapes this year. This has a light colour which belies the wealth of fruit on the nose. A typical Charmes richness suffuses the palate. It has not developed individual flavours yet, but a promising start." (1/2018)
