MEURSAULT CHARMES

Meursault Charmes often displays a bright golden colour, a sign of its youth and concentration. Its focused, precise bouquet reveals aromas of dried fruit, ripe apricots and sun-kissed yellow peaches, accompanied by white floral notes.

On the palate, the wine has the gentle persistence that characterises great gastronomic wines. Richness and freshness are in harmony throughout. Long and structured, Meursault Charmes needs time to mature. It is a great white wine for ageing. Its aromatic power and exceptional balance between richness and acidity make it one of the great wines of Burgundy. It pairs beautifully with a wide range of fine dishes. Meats and fish with a firm texture, and shellfish grilled or served in a sauce, complement its lively, supple balance. Even blue cheeses and foie gras make excellent partners.

In Burgundy, the word “Charmes” refers to uncultivated land, in the sense of a fallow field where a few groves of hornbeam once grew. These small, hardy trees have dense wood that is ideal for firewood.
