The 2024 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru, which comes from two parcels abutting Puligny, is one of my favourite cuvées from the Domaine and this absolutely delivers with a scintillating mineral-driven bouquet that shimmers in the glass. The palate has so much energy and tension, wonderful texture, so harmonious with a persistent, complex and sapid finish that will urge you back for more. Outstanding.
A full lemon yellow in colour. An expansive bouquet, oak plus white fruit, opulent Charmes style. Relatively broad on the palate but tightened up by the acid structure. Seems less concentrated overall than the Poruzots but has equal persistence.
The 2024 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes is showing promise, expanding in the glass with aromas of white peach, nashi pear and freshly baked bread mingled with white flowers. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, ample and bright, with considerable mid-palate volume, concluding with a long, saline finish. It possesses a texture that is rare to encounter in this vintage.
