Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes

• A charismatic Meursault appellation, Les Meursault 1er Les Charmes takes its place on a lean, very chalky, very stony soil that magnifies Chardonnay. Les Charmes faces east and is wedged between Les Genevrières, Les Perrières du dessous and Les Combettes de Puligny-Montrachet.

• Our Meursault 1er cru Les Charmes comes from a single parcel, located right in the middle of the climate, on hard Jurassic limestone and marly limestone that yields highly concentrated, intense grapes. These grapes give the wine exceptional ageing potential.
• This wine has a golden color. The concentrated nose offers notes of ripe white fruit, mountain honey and white flowers. Very solid, the palate is round, very complex, with lots of fleshy, dense fruit on the palate. The finish is long and persistent, still on the fruit, with the minerality taking over at the end.
• Fermented and aged in exclusively French oak barrels for 14 months, with regular stirring of the lees. Our ageing is carried out in a very fine one-wine barrel to preserve and enhance the expression of this magnificent terroir without overpowering it with wood.
• It goes wonderfully with foie gras galantine, scallops, lobster, veal sauté with truffles, etc.
