Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru comes from the Dessus and Les Dessous lieux-dits. It has a clean, precise bouquet, quite focused and sporting a discernible sea spray aroma. The well-balanced palate delivers orange peel and marmalade on the entry. This displays fine depth and better tension on the finish compared to the Les Chevalières. Recommended.
Drinking Date: 2022 - 2035
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.
