Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 18
(Charmes du Bas was hit hard by frost, said Jobard, but the top portion of the vineyard was normal): Bright lemon-yellow. Powerful yellow fruits dominate the nose. Concentrated, tactile and savory; a very dry wine whose Perrières-like wet-stone minerality gives it serious energy and punch. Not overly opulent or rich like some past vintages but shows more material, power and size than the Genevrières. Finishes tactile, salty and long. I might have picked this blind as Perrières.

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.
