Tasting notes
The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, which was raised in 30% new oak, has a very complex bouquet: a stunning array of limestone, almond, brioche and granite that is very intense and conveys a sense of completeness. The palate is beautifully defined with hints of orange peel on the entry. The acidity is just perfectly judged and there is enormous length on the finish that fans out gloriously, yet maintains assiduous restraint. This must constitute one of the best wines of the vintage.

Vines planted in 1942. Quite deep gold. Great integrity on the nose. Race and very well judged, very slight reduction. Firm with a smoky undertow. Precise molten gold. Admirable. Super appetising. (JR)
