Meursault Premier Cru "Charmes" 2019
-
Our Meursault Premier Cru "Charmes" 2019 is from one of the best vineyard plots in this world-famous village. The nose is highly seductive with tropical aromas such as pineapple, dried fruits, vanilla, and ripe mango. The palate is powerful and rich, without being too heavy. The finish continues to charm with its lace-like delicacy overlaid with spicy notes and touch of brown sugar.

Meursault Premier Cru "Charmes" is one of the largest and best terroirs of the appellation. The term "Charmes" refers to former cultivated fields turned into wild lands. Located on the lower slope of the Côte d'Or, the thin calcaerous soils produce a complex and fruity Chardonnay with long aging potential.
