Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 18 Jul 22
The 2011 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru has a delightful nose that sports a slight reduction, touches of liquorice and peppermint complementing the citrus fruit, Japanese yuzu emerging with time. There is plenty of energy wound-up in this Meursault. Considering the vintage, the palate is quite intense with ample weight and a very slight viscosity, though it is counterbalanced by a fine line of acidity. Grapefruit, tinned apricot and mango come forward towards the finish. There is a sense of electricity running through the Charmes that I appreciate. Probably at its peak now, it has the substance to last another 12 to 15 years.

Meursault Fine Wine

Meursault

Meursault, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for its rich and complex Chardonnay wines. Known for opulent textures, vibrant acidity, and nutty, buttery flavours with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and hazelnuts, these wines also feature a subtle minerality and creamy mouthfeel from limestone-rich soils and oak ageing. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, and Les Charmes produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Domaine Roulot, and Domaine Coche-Dury, all celebrated for showcasing Meursault's unique terroir.
