Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 31 Jan 19
Monnot's 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes is a success, offering up aromas of ripe lemons, citrus oil, honeycomb and a deft touch of new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and nicely concentrated, with a deep, layered core and a compelling sense of completeness. While it will drink well young, this has the substance to evolve in bottle.

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.
