Tasting notes
This Premier Cru comes from two domaine-owned plots, purchased in 2017, totalling 1.2 hectares, in Charmes-Dessous. In 2022, it’s a wine of astounding intensity – full of savoury, nutty power that coats the core of round, ripe fruit that will emerge with time. The finish is firm, iron-like with a cool bitterness to it.

The 2023 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru was picked a week later than Jadot's other Meursault Premier Crus. It has an understated bouquet, well defined though it needs a little more intensity and presence given the vineyard in question. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of walnut and ginger on the entry. Quite saline with good depth on the finish, this is a "solid" Meursault Charmes that will drink well over the next 15 to 18 years.
From the top part of the premier cru slope where the temperatures are a bit cooler, this elegant, medium-bodied wine has kept its freshness and acidity during a hot vintage. So mellow, layered and smooth, offering baked apples, vanilla and nutmeg nuances and a lingering finish. Drink now or hold.
Aromas of pear, peach, hazelnuts, white flowers and buttery pastry preface the 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, satiny and charming wine with lively acids and a saline finish. It's the finest Charmes that Jadot has produced from the former Prieur-Brunet holdings to date.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
