(NM95-97 points) A limpid straw colour. The nose is quite tight and reserved at first: notes of walnut and coconut. The vanillary oak is brilliantly integrated with the fruit. Like the 1991, this wine had awesome poise, though this is far more intense, more spicy and aromatic. Harmonious and very complex. Hazelnut, almond. Longer than the 2001. Drink over the next five years.

(RP91-93 points) The 1992 Meursault-Les Charmes reveals more sweetness to its fruit and more elegance than the other 1992 Meursault offerings. It does not possess the overwhelming intensity and extraction noticeable in vintages such as 1989. - Robert Parker

What a beauty! Brilliant winemaking here. It pushes the envelope with seductive toasted hazelnut, pear, pie crust, honey and earth flavors in perfectly balanced proportions. This is what white Burgundy is all about. Awesome now but should taste great for years. Drink now through 2006.

The '92 Charmes has always been a rather atypical wine for this vintage because in contrast to the open, accessible, very forward style of most '92s, this has always been backward and rather unforthcoming if packed with potential. The aromas and flavors are just now beginning to open, revealing simply gorgeous if subtle hazelnut and pain grillé aromas and rich, full-bodied, very precise and pure flavors of exceptional acid/fruit balance and lovely finishing elegance. A sensational effort for the vintage that drinks well now but if well stored, should continue to hold. Multiple and consistent notes.
