(BH92-94 points) A broad yet nuanced nose features notes of petrol, white peach, lime peel and acacia blossom. The exceptionally fresh and ultra-intense yet impressively refined medium-bodied flavors possess a sophisticated mouth feel as well as superb finishing depth and length. This strikingly stylish and balanced effort should also repay extended cellaring.

(WA92-94 points) The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes has a straight down the line walnut- scented bouquet tinged with smoke and flint – voluminous like so many Meursault Charmes this year. There is very good intensity here. The palate is showing the new wood a little more than other premier crus from Lafon, but there is fine depth with veins of orange peel and tangerine, gradually building toward a generous walnut tinged finish. This is a very impressive Meursault that will surely come into its own after bottling. - Neal Martin
