From the upper part of the vineyard, surrounded by Domaine des Comtes Lafon. Only 40cm topsoil up here. Another fine lemon and lime colour. Good flesh is apparent even from the bouquet. Really impressive pure rich white fruit on the palate, with extra weight compared to Tête du Clos, offering luxurious cashmere without losing the tension. Very promising.

The 2018 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru has quite an intense, well-defined nose, with touches of fennel and garrigues infusing the citrus fruit. Just a hint of melon surfaces with time. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, somehow, a little conservative compared to its peers. However, there is fine salinity and it seems to linger long on the finish. Very fine - Charmes with charm. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting. -- Neal Martin

A very pretty and ultra-fresh nose consists of various white orchard fruit and plenty of citrus and spice nuances. There is equally good freshness and excellent tension to the slightly richer if not quite as refined flavors that possess a caressing mid-palate mouthfeel before culminating in a lengthy, delicious and attractively clean finale. This is also lovely though it too needs to add depth.
