Tasting notes
The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes possesses an elegant bouquet that requires a little coaxing, eventually offering granitic, slightly fumé style aromas that merge into orange peel and light apricot scents. This is quite seductive. The palate is fresh and vibrant. There is a gorgeous citrus backbone here that maintains the tautness and focus from start to finish. Energetic and precise, this is a superb contribution to the vintage from Domaine Pierre Morey. This comes recommended. Tasted September 2016.

Subtle, classic Charmes aromas of pear, peach, hazelnut and vanilla lifted by a floral topnote. Juicy acidity and a note of fresh herbs cut the wine's creamy, peachy sweetness. More pliant and generous than the Baudines but nicely energized by a note of gingery spice.
The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes has an exotic peach and apricot-scented bouquet, later yellow plum and candied orange peel. The palate is rounded in the mouth with plenty of fruit concentration, the finish quite weighty, but nicely counterpoised by the acidity. This is one Meursault where I think stopping the malo early really benefited the wine. It should be drinking beautifully once in bottle.
In the middle of Lafon’s parcel, under Perrières. Quite high. About 20 years ago Lafon used to make wine from it. Savoury and refined. Very broad and flattering. Chewy finish and with real structure. Lip smacking. (JR)
