Meursault

1er Cru Charmes

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

A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.

Vineyard

The largest of all the 1er Cru 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) and richness (Dessous). The soil is rich in clay and more sedimentary.
