2020 Louis Jadot Meursault Charmes 1er Cru

Meursault is the center of four communes that make up the Côte des Blancs, named for the predominantly white wines produced there. The soils of Les Charmes are richer and heavier than the soils of Les Perrières, just above it on the slope, making Les Charmes the more typical, masculine Meursault. The Chardonnay grapes are fermented and matured in oak barrels for a total of 15 to 18 months. Lots of rich ripe tree fruits on the nose with an array of candied corn, creme brulee, wet stone like mineral, fat fruit on the tongue, rich fruit but has a firm hand of acidity, very showy right now but also very well built. Most Excellent
