Note di degustazione
NHB. Deep gold. Almond notes on the nose – quite exotic. Some rich oak underneath. Not the purest expression of Meursault. But there is an attractively savoury finish. A solid wine that’s not fully evolved. (JR)

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, the 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes-Dessus has a sophisticated, terroir-driven bouquet with outstanding delineation and focus. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, saline and brisk in the mouth with an animated, lightly spiced finish. This is a very impressive showing from Château de Meursault, a property that has (finally) discovered how to really exploit their propitious vineyard holdings. Superb.
(35% new oak): Bright pale yellow. Inviting perfume of yellow peach, ripe lemon, hazelnut and spicy oak. Plump, sweet, tactile and concentrated; richer and smoother than the Perrières but without that wine's energy. No shortage of acidity here but currently showing more yellow fruits and spicy oak than underlying stoniness. This piques the taste buds on the finish, displaying emerging mineral grip. These vines are located just below the estate's Meursault Perrières.
