About the Wine
This Meursault Charmes is sourced from the middle section of this revered vineyard, from a 45-year-old parcel that borders Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes. 30% new oak, no lees stirring. Emphasis on bright citrusy fruit, high toned floral notes (acacia), a distinct nutty quality and loads of limestone-driven minerality. This flirts with Grand Cru quality. With decanting the layers of mirabelle plum, baked apple, acacia, hyacinth, lemon curd, hazelnut and wet stone really express themselves. Dense serious white burgundy.
Many of the best wines from the Côte de Beaune are a visceral, meditative experience that you could savor without food. However, richer fish dishes, pork, chicken and anything in a cream sauce or with fungi are highly recommended.
