Tasting notes
The 2018 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru has quite an intense, well-defined nose, with touches of fennel and garrigues infusing the citrus fruit. Just a hint of melon surfaces with time. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, somehow, a little conservative compared to its peers. However, there is fine salinity and it seems to linger long on the finish. Very fine - Charmes with charm. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

Mealy and oaky on the nose. Citrus and even a hint of fresh pears – perhaps that’s the lees. Taut, very crisp but with the fruit weight to balance it. Not sure it is worth the premium compared with the village Meursault though it does have great length. (JH)
