Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Meursault Les Charmes Dessus 1er Cru has a floral bouquet, yellow flowers mixed with nectarine and light apricot aromas, walnut emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry, tensile and focused with a lightly spiced, edgy, almost Puligny-like finish. Excellent.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2040
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.
