Description

"This is ever-so-mildly exotic with its white peach, floral and lychee aromas that are also trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is a fine sense of energy to the attractively textured and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that display a touch of minerality on the balanced and saline-infused finale. Like several of these 2020s, this too would benefit from developing better depth, but the necessary stuffing appears to be present for that to progressively occur." - Allen Meadows, burghound.com

"From the top and middle of the vineyard. Medium yellow here, some good weight of fruit throughout, very Charmes in style, with a crystalline touch to refresh the finish. Excellent energy behind, with a long, strong thread of predominantly white fruit." - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 01/12/2021

"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. Soil : clayey-silt" - Importer Note
