The 1996 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Charmes was a substitute at the Ghislaine-Barthod tasting to replace a corked 1988 Véroilles. When first presented, I summed it up as a rather "dull book". There's nothing intrinsically faulty, but it just lacked any mote of excitement. Advising that we had nothing to lose in decanting it, certainly aeration over 60 minutes benefited this wine, allowing some earthy black, slightly peaty fruit to emerge. The palate is masculine, foursquare and perhaps too serious for its own good. It's the kind of wine you would finish but not remember with ardent fondness. Tasted September 2015.
