Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
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.

The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes-Dessus is almost exactly like the Meursault Charmes on the nose, except that there is a smidgen more delineation. It opens very nicely with apricot blossom and white peach scents, gaining vigor all the time. The palate is crisp and vibrant, saline in the mouth with a tensile, quite concentrated finish that feels long in the mouth. This is very impressive.
