Tasting notes
Pale yellow. Reticent aromas of menthol and rocky minerality. Tightly wound and highly concentrated, dominated in the early going by its wet-stone minerality. Less expressive and accessible today than the Genevrières and in need of more patience. But the rather cool citrus flavors convey terrific cut and precision and stain the palate on the finish. With its superb energy, this should be a serious vin de garde in the context of the vintage and may ultimately merit a higher score.

The 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes was showing the most reduction on the nose and was difficult to assess. The palate is certainly harmonious with a slightly honeyed texture, tinged with marmalade and quince. Although, I prefer the precision and focus of the Genevrières this year and I suspect that it will turn out to be the better wine instead of the Charmes.
Pale yellow. Very reduced nose. Begins with flavors of lemon and salt, then opens with air to show building minerality and a suggestion of vanillin oak. This may be less vibrant than the 2014 version but it boasts insidious cut and serious stuffing. Finishes rich, suave and long. Classic Charmes in the context of the vintage.
