Meursault

1er Cru Charmes

In Burgundy, this word refers to old common fields cultivated and let lie fallow or planted with hornbeams.

A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.

Vineyard

The largest of all the 1er Crus classified terroirs of Meursault but also the archetype of the style of Meursault (rich, fat and powerful). Each step of the terroir gives elegance (Dessus), power (Milieu) and richness (Dessous). The soil is rich in clay and more sedimentary.
