Les Charmes Dessus Meursault-Charmes 1er Cru Chardonnay

Brought by a friend from his cellar. Popped and poured. The 2016 “Les Charmes Dessus” pours a bright yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with rather powerful notes of tropical fruits: pineapple and passion fruit with some lemons, honeysuckle, caramel, limestone minerals and subtle baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and grippy, slightly chalky. There is a very attractive, creamy texture too. A very lovely wine that works pretty darned well with octopus carpaccio. Drink now through 2031.

One of the best Meursault I ever had ;-)

Clean, fresh, silky

This needed a decant. Showed its best at the end of the night. Terrific minerality.

Toujours emballé par les vins de Bouzereau. Sur ce millésime très bon on a un vin très tendu précis avec de belles notes agrumes. On aurait pu se laisser tenter par dire qu'on avait du Puligny.

Bu au réveillon de noël. Un peu fermé sur le premier nez mais

Well balanced classical Meursault

Hopefully I'll get a chance to try this vintage again 10 years from now. I drank it too soon. Acids are out of whack right now. Nevertheless, it seems like it will evolve into something magical at a later date.

Powerful and creamy, lacks some elegance, but I'd still be more than happy to drink this on a regular basis.

Excellent, Beaucoup de complexité

Vin agréable et rond
