You will be seduced by its unbelievable charm (as indicated by his name !), but don’t forget that Charmes is also very powerful and ages really well.

Tasting notes
Jancis Robinson – 2016-11
“Really quite rich and dense. But not lift. Very solid. Lots still to chew on.” 16.5/20
The Burgundy Briefing – Sarah Marsh MW – Winter 2013
“Golden aroma. Sweet marzipan on the front palate. It is rich and dense and the intensity is good. The acidity comes though under the palate. It is tight and the palate is long.”
Burghound.com – Allen Meadows white wines
90-93 – “This is expressive with its spiced pear, roasted nut and white peach infused nose. There is an attractive generosity to the rich and full-bodied flavors that possess a plethora of mouth coating dry extract before culminating in a punch, dry and clean finish that dispalys plenty of salinity and relatively snappy acidity.”
BURGHOUND.COM Issue 35
“…Flower fruit and citrus blossom aromas that give way to naturally sweet, round and seemingly forward flavors…This is also notably harmonius with impressive finishing intensity”
WINE & SPIRIT – October 2009
91 points – “Light scents of wood spice, of cinnamon and caramel…The wine is vivacious, filled with fresh citrus flavor …”
The Wine Guide – Andreas Larrson
“Ripe and onctuous, still with some new oak present, vanilla and ripe fruit, structured and broad palate, more exuberant, balanced by a good freshness and a long after taste, well made if you like opulent and rich Meursault, still a litlle young with present oak, give this some time.”
