Premier Cru
MEURSAULT CHARMES
Cuvée de la Centaurée
Vintages produced : 2016 - 2017 - 2018 - 2019 - 2020 - 2021 - 2022 - 2023
Meursault Charmes is a limpid and brilliant lightly accented gold-green, canary yellow or polished bronze-gold depending on its age. The nose is rich with dried fruits, apricots, yellow peaches, and floral and spring scents.
On the palate, a powerful and concentrated wine, with delicious and delightful hazelnut notes, achieving a superbly silky balance between unctuousness and freshness. With a long and structured finish, a Meursault Charmes wine needs time to mature. It’s an excellent white for laying down.
Its aromatic power and exceptional balance between richness and acidity make this one of the great wines of Burgundy. It will go with almost any fine food without blushes. Finely textured fish and meats, grilled shellfish and shellfish in sauce all work well with the lively and supple balance of Meursault Charmes. Even blue cheeses and foie gras are an immediate and happy match.
In Burgundy, the word “Charmes” means fallow land, in the sense of stubble fields where a few thickets of “charme” or hornbeam might grow, these small rustic trees with hard wood being perfect for heating.
