Vinous Neal Martin - 15 Jun 26
The 2022 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has some reduction on the nose, though it is well defined and quite minerally, becoming smokier as it opens in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with a tangy entry, lightly spiced and very harmonious, with a tensile and very long peacock's tail on the finish. What a wonderful Charmes! Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

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.
