Tasting notes
From another very old parcel, planted in 1936, Vincent's 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes offers up aromas of peach and orange oil mingled with hints of honeycomb and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and fuels, it's seamless and elegantly layered, with good depth and dimension.

The 2023 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru comes from a single plot of 0.16ha planted in 1936. It has a very well-defined bouquet with mineral-rich yellow fruit, a hint of walnut and sea spray. The palate shows a fine bead of acidity. It's an elegant, though not a concentrated Les Charmes. It doesn't deliver tremendous weight but is more based on the tension and mineral core. As Vincent said, once this is aged in tank, it will be reductive, so afford this some time in bottle.
