The 2015 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has a simple, rather anodyne bouquet that clearly lacks the complexity of its peers. The palate is uncomplicated, with a touch of bruised apple on the entry. There seems to be a little underripe fruit here, to the detriment of the finish, which pulls up short. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes-Dessus comes from the single hectare parcel of vines within the namesake lieu-dit. This clearly offers more energy and intensity on the nose than the Charmes with scents of hazelnut and grilled almond, a touch of lemongrass developing with time. The palate is very well balanced with a keen line of acidity, good energy, not as persistent as the 2014 that I tasted last year, but there is certainly good potential.
