Meursault, Les Charmes, Dessus, 1er Cru, 2022

The first impression here is excellence. An ineffable trait, yet it could be presented to UNESCO as a near-perfect example what Meursault wants to be. a fusion of cream, fine stones, intense citrus, with depth, texture, and a nutty stoniness in the background. Long and powerful, but also juicy and joyous. The four specific parcels sit high up in the Charmes Dessus vineyard, just below Clos des Perrières and abutting the vines of Dominque Lafon. Undoubtedly one of the estate's flagship wines.
