AOC Premier Cru

Grape variety

Chardonnay

Located at the very heart of the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is one of Burgundy's flagship villages and among its most celebrated. It is cited as being the capital of Burgundy's great white wines.
The "Les Charmes" Premier Cru is a top-quality Climat that features two types of terroirs - clayey soil in the lower part of Charmes-Dessous, which yields opulent, generous Meursaults, and finer soil, more similar to the limestone parent rock, in Charmes-Dessus that yields airier, more mineral, chiseled wines.
We are lucky to own two plots in Charmes-Dessus and one plot in Charmes-Dessous. The combination of the two results in a nectar that is particularly complex and perfectly balanced.

Tasting

Generous, charming nose featuring notes of candied lemon, almonds, white flowers, spices and freshly baked bread. Complex and full bodied on the palate, with a slight mineral tautness that lends this wine perfect balance. Long, delectable finish with accents of brioche and spices.

Food/wine pairing

Taste this wine with finely prepared fine fish and crustaceans, or with poultry and white meats, roasted or served in a cream sauce.
Recipe suggestion: snacked scallops, saffron sauce

Serving and keeping
