Tasting Notes
The golden color of this wine is magnificent. The mature bouquet is rich, elegant and intensely aromatic. It opens with intense aromas of fruit salad (peach, mango), almonds and hazelnuts, followed by refreshing notes of cut herbs and delicate white flowers. On the palate, the attack is both rich and fresh, offering a remarkable balance between sweetness and saltiness. Hints of praline and spicy notes of cinnamon, vanilla and rum complete the aromatic palette. A great white wine for laying down, to be treasured.

Vinification and Aging
The grapes are harvested by hand, then gently pressed after sorting. The juice is settled for around 24 hours and then placed in barrels for slow fermentation, using only indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation, also slow thanks to our cool cellars, ends in spring. Periodic pumping-over is carried out to keep the lees in suspension. Aging lasts a total of 15 months, with 50% new oak barrels from Burgundy and Central France.

Terroir
Situated to the south of the village, in the middle of the hillside, Premier Cru Charmes is one of the three most renowned Premiers Crus of this emblematic Côte de Beaune village, which has no Grand Cru of its own. Being the most extensive climat in Meursault, Charmes is generally divided into two distinct terroirs: Charmes-Dessus and Charmes-Dessous. Our Meursault-Charmes comes mainly from Charmes-Dessus, a clay-limestone terroir with many pebbles on the surface.
