Tasting notes
The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes Dessus was showing even better in bottle, unwinding in the glass with notes of pear, citrus zest, wheat toast, nutmeg and anise. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and textural, there's more substance and structure here than I perceived, with plenty of racy acidity too. Long and saline, this is a serious Charmes. Germain told me that 80% of this cuvée is produced from the domaine's holdings, with the balance coming from a parcel they farm and harvest.

Full medium yellow. Ripe aromas and flavors of dried yellow fruits and hazelnut oil: very Meursault. Classic Meursault as well in its texture and volume but this wine also possesses surprising acidity and spine, as well as strong terroir character. Finishes saline, citrussy and long, with lovely purity and a youthful tightness.
