Tasting notes
Pale, green-tinged yellow. Flowers, wild herbs and menthol on the rather cool nose. Then large-scaled, concentrated and rich, with sexy, subtly sweet flavors of peach, white flowers and vanilla. Delicate and fine-grained on the one hand and impressively dense and deep on the other. Already offers great appeal but there's no rush to drink this wonderfully aromatic 2009.

The 2009 Meursault Gouttes d'Or is less obvious than the Charrons. Pears, white peaches and flowers are some of the notes that emerge from this finessed, sensual Meursault. The wine remains sensual and inviting all the way through to the cashmere-like finish.
Pale, green-tinged yellow. Vibrant aromas of lemon, lime and crushed stone. Rich and spicy but much more closed than the Petits Charrons, conveying a sense of brooding energy to its citrus peel and powdered stone flavors. A lot of palate presence here for a wine with 12.9% alcohol.
