The 2015 Charmail is gorgeous. Deep and wonderfully nuanced, the Charmail shows that strong wines could indeed be made in the Haut-Médoc in 2015. Sweet tobacco, menthol and licorice add nuance to the dark stone fruit flavors in this attractive, mid-weight offering. The blend is 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 13% Petit Verdot.

Particularly dark crimson. Sweet and dense. Very ripe and attention-grabbing. A charmer indeed. Drink 2021-2028.

Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Das Bouquet zeigt reife bis schier überreife Frucht, in den blaubeerigen Tönen sind auch Honignoten drin vermischt. Im Gaumen wirkt er ziemlich leicht, ist dafür elegant. Ich hätte hier etwas mehr Konzentration erwartet. Gastronomischer Charmail. 17/20 2020 – 2035

Delicious red with chocolate and blackberry character. Medium to full body, velvety tannins.

Le fruit est flatteur et expressif, l’ensemble a de la générosité et beaucoup de saveur.

The 2015 Charmail is a blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 13% Petit Verdot that was picked by hand, the first under Hubert de Boüard's consultation. It has a slightly candied bouquet with dark plum, raspberry coulis and floral scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine, grainy texture, crisp tannin and lively black fruit with a tensile finish that bodes well for the future. Again, this is worth seeking out after bottling.
