Tasting notes
The 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes has a pleasing richness and generosity on the nose: citrus fruit, a touch of dried pineapple and later with aeration, attractive almost resinous/candlewax aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, a little grainy and certainly quite saline in style. There is a cheeky dab of lemon sherbet on the finish to complete what is a very fine Meursault Charmes, one that actually surpasses the 2014.

Cask sample. In the upper middle of Lafon’s parcel, under Perrières. Quite high. Twenty years ago it was made by Lafon. 55- to 60-year-old vines. A bit more linear and structured than Lafon’s Charmes. Lots of Genevrières-like herby underbrush. Lots of sinew. Almost more Colin-Morey than Charmes! (JR)
Bright lemon-yellow color. Pungent aromas of lemon and lime are complicated by a subtle leesy quality. A distinct step up in energy from the Narvaux, with its penetrating lemon and lime flavors complemented by saline minerality and a minty nuance. No shortage of acidity here. Finishes with excellent echoing length. Colin says these vines are situated "in the middle of Lafon's Charmes du Haut."
