Beautiful, classically styled Meursault. The nose opens with spicy oak, butter, green apple skin and a deep mineral streak, with the wood adding a lovely sweet, savory framing rather than dominating. The palate is silky, pure and impressively concentrated, with excellent texture, plenty of minerality and that naturally plump, slightly opulent Les Grands Charrons character. The acidity is very good, though I would love just a touch more cut, and the wine remains rich, balanced and elegant throughout. Long, refined and extremely well made, with plenty of room to open further with air.

@delectable chavy-chouet Les grands charrons

Nose: intense white flowers. Sweet minerals. Lanolin. A hint of sweet pretty petrol.

Palate: delicious. So clean. Wow. Amazing precision. Not super briny on the palate. A mere kiss of lemon zest it has that elegant melange of the lemon fruit, minerals and just a kiss of richness. Sweet lemon fruit. Extremely delicious in an elegant way. Gorgeous silky texture. Maybe an echo of honey. A very elegant wine that has hints of things you want but in a very subtle way.

Nice elegantly briny finish.

2 hours in this hits it’s stride. That crazy melange of elegant richness minerals and sweet lemon fruit.
