Description

The Charmes Dessus is sourced from the upper part of the 1er just below the Clos des Perrieres, the parcel is next to the holding of Dominqiue Lafon and the wine showcases extra energy and definition than the regular Charmes. Once again, this has become one of the finest wines produced for the 2021 vintage at Chateau de Meursault.

The aroma is a delightful combination of fruitiness, elegance, and gourmand allure, with a subtle yet captivating hint of power and a beautiful underlying flinty character. It unveils creamy white peach, ripe apple, and delicate fresh quince notes, intertwined with nuances of mirabelle plum, citrus zest, and hints of butter, all delicately underscored by a subtle touch of lime zest and vanilla.

On the palate, this wine exudes a vibrant fruitiness, balanced by refreshing acidity and a finely chiseled structure, delivering both juiciness and minerality. It boasts precise definition, a subtle tension, and impeccable precision, all framed by a lively acidity. Revel in flavors of succulent vine peach, crisp apple, and zesty lemon, complemented by hints of tropical pineapple and quince, accompanied by subtle nuances of exotic fruits, delicate creamy textures, and a touch of toasted notes. The finish is impressive, with a lingering persistence and elegant smoothness.

Review

A touch more yellow than the Perrières. A very fine nose, with the weight of Charmes but the sheer class of Perrières. Really impressive once again. With exceptional intensity to finish. You can’t call this as coming from a frozen minor vintage, chortles Stéphane, with some reason. Drink from 2027-2032. 93-96 Points
