An absolutely classic rendition of Meursault Charmes with a broad sweep of delicious fruit that coats the palate with notes of conference pear and spice and golden lemon. Layered, long and rich, yet with a seam of energy too and a classy bead of acidity and vitality that keeps the glowing fruit in check. A long finish; rather glorious.

The 2017 Meursault Les Charmes-Dessus 1er Cru shows a little more wood on the nose compared to its peers, though it retains decent delineation. The palate is well balanced but I find the oak impinging more on the terroir and fruit profile, and there is a touch of heat on the finish. Maybe it just needs time to calm down. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.
