Meursault Charmes 1er Cru

Fruit from a mid-slope parcel within the Charmes 1er cru totalling 1.32ha. Soils are clay/limestone with red earth & volcanic rock allowing the roots to develop deep into the soil. Vines average 50-60 years. Indigenous yeast ferment and matured 10 months in oak barrels, with some being new (15%).

Tasting Note: 2017 - Crunchy green apple and lemon with butter and spice on the nose. Supple and broad, silky texture with a mid-palate of fresh citrus and white flowers, pleasant acidity, very balanced, a lengthy finish with some saline notes.

2018 - Restrained at first but opens up to aromas of lemon, apple, and peach with hints of citrus blossom, flint, and hazelnut on the nose. Great richness and depth on the palate with orchard fruits and stone minerals, fresh acidity, very finessed, and a long mineral finish.

2019 - Aromas of lemon, ripe apple, and pear with hints of blossom, flint mineral, toasted hazelnut, and oak spice on the nose. Excellent concentration and richness on the palate with a citrus and white fruit core, crisp acidity, creamy texture, great depth and a layered finish with stone mineral nuances, fruit, and oak spice.
