Highlights
- 100% Chardonnay harvested from "Les Charmes," universally regarded among the finest Premier Cru climats of Meursault bordering Puligny-Montrachet.
- Planted on gently sloping Bathonian limestone with gravelly, clay-rich topsoils, imparting Charmes’ hallmark silky texture, broad mouthfeel, and lifted mineral tension.
- Crafted by David Moret, the renowned Beaune-based artisan micro-négociant celebrated for his meticulous parcel selection and masterly elevage of Côte de Beaune whites.
- Aged for approximately 12 to 15 months in select French oak barrels (around 30–35% new oak) followed by stainless steel settling to harmonize oak spice and primary fruit tension.
- From the vibrant, classically proportioned 2024 Burgundy harvest; delivers seductive immediate charm with the balance and structure to age gracefully through 2034+.
Tasting Notes
Luminous pale golden yellow with shimmering green reflections, it opens with seductive aromas of white peaches, yellow orchard apple, and Meyer lemon curd, complemented by hawthorn blossoms, crushed limestone, toasted hazelnuts, and delicate brioche. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied, satin-smooth, and generous, carrying ripe stone fruit across a spine of crisp limestone acidity, concluding on a persistent, mouth-watering, and lightly savory finish.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 11–13°C in standard white Burgundy or universal stemware.
- Decanting: Best enjoyed with 20 to 30 minutes of gentle aeration in the glass to allow its floral aromatics, stone fruit depth, and subtle nutty oak integration to unfold; pairs exquisitely with pan-seared scallops, roasted veal chops with morels, lobster thermidor, or aged Comté. Optimal drinking window now through 2034+.
