justerini & brooks tasting note

A supreme mix of charm, energy, sunshine and athleticism – this offers coiled, savoury, herb and limes fruit at first glance; however, the shackles soon come off with the most wonderfully golden curvaceous mid palate, before rediscovering its tension in a bright, lingering finish. Exquisite. From four specific parcels vinified separately high up in the Charmes Dessus vineyard, just below Clos des Perrieres and abutting the vines of Dominque Lafon, this represents a clear step up from the straight Charmes and is one of the estate's flagship wines. Aged in 30% new oak.

critic reviews

91-93/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2020 Meursault Les Charmes Dessus 1er Cru has a floral bouquet, yellow flowers mixed with nectarine and light apricot aromas, walnut emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry, tensile and focused with a lightly spiced, edgy, almost Puligny-like finish. Excellent.
