Meursault, Clos des Grands Charrons, Monopole, 2023
Fine definition on the nose with a touch of apple blossom alongside buttery pastry and fine lemon zest. Extract and structure at the heart of this bring freshness and zip. A fine mineral layer below the fruit. This has some body but also impressive intensity and drive. A very well-situated Monopole lieu dit from the mid-slope, on the same level as Perrières, that shows more intensity and precision than most Meursault villages. Aged for 15 months in 30% new oak.
critic reviews
The 2023 Meursault Clos des Grands Charrons has good intensity on the nose, but it is missing a little personality and charm, especially compared to the preceding Terroir d'Exception. The palate is balanced and lightly spiced with good weight, but again, I would have preferred more terroir expression on the finish.
