Tasting notes
The 2020 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has a pretty, pure bouquet that opens beautifully in the glass. White peach intermingles with almond shavings and walnuts. The palate is fresh, vibrant and tensile in the mouth and offers a citric bead of acidity. It's peppery in the second half, gaining weight and fanning out confidently. This is a very fine, very typical Les Charmes with depth and breadth. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes Dessus is brilliant, unfurling in the glass with aromas of pear, orange oil, white flowers and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with racy acids and a layered, textural mid-palate, it concludes with a saline finish.
Cask sample. Creamy, buttery, weighty. More of a classic old-school Meursault style but there is plenty of acid to keep all in balance. Impressive but relatively early drinking for a premier cru. (AWH)
