Albert Bichot 2019 Meursault Premier Cru ‘Les Charmes’ Domaine du Pavillon

Located in the heart of the Cte de Beaune, Meursault is one of Burgundys flagship villages and among the most reputed. In fact, Meursault is often referred to as the capital of Burgundys great whites. The Les Charmes Premier Cru is a first-class plot and easily rivals Burgundys great white Grand Crus. There are two types of terroir in Meursault. One is clay-based and produces opulent, generous wines. The other consists of finer soil, and is closer to the limestone bedrock. The latter gives a more mineral, airy and chiselled wine. Our plot, mostly located in the Charmes Dessus portion, is fortunate to overlie the two terroirs, and is therefore capable of producing particularly complex nectar.

Tasting Notes

Generous and flattering, this wine features notes of candied lemon, almonds, white flowers and freshly baked bread. The palate is smooth and velvety without any heaviness, with hints of warm brioche and spice. Long and tasty, the finish mirrors the bouquets aromas.
