Tasting notes
Bright lemon-yellow color. Subdued but vibrant aromas of lemon and vanillin oak. Round and voluminous without coming off as weighty, displaying superb inner-mouth energy to its citrus and saline mineral flavors. Finishes clean and long, with piquant minerality ensuring a light touch.

The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes has an intense nose of fresh grapefruit, lime flower and a hint of frangipane; it is more rounded than the Bouchères, if not quite possessing the same charm. The palate is crisp on the entry, very saline and tensile with a precise, penetrating finish. This will have much more to give post bottling. Then it will switch on the charm.
Vines planted 1942. Broad and lively and rich. Good depth – a bit more charming than the Lafon Charmes. Lots to chew on at the end. Really quite tannic on the end. (JR)
