A more complex nose grudgingly reveals notes of petrol, acacia blossom, freshly sliced apple and plenty of citrus influence. There is excellent intensity and cut to the appealingly rich and textured flavors that possess the same fine depth as the nose. This is very good and worth a look.

Fleshy and generous, the 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes exhibits aromas of pear, yellow orchard fruit, toasted almonds and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, with chalky structuring extract and lively acids, it has turned out well.

From two parcels, one including the Domaine’s oldest vines planted in 1945, the 2019 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru was affected by frost. It has a well defined bouquet with pretty apple blossom, granite and light white chalky aromas. The palate is well balanced with good density and weight on the entry. There is a lot of concentration to this Charmes with an almost honeyed (both in taste and texture) finish that just shaves away some of its potential tension and precision. Still, I appreciate the spiciness on the finish, but it is one that I think will show best in its youth. Nine barrels produced
