MEURSAULT-CHARMES 1ER CRU LES CHARMES DESSUS 2015

This domaine owns 1.7 acres in this premier cru on the border with Puligny, and this wine looks to the floral notes and steely backbone of wines just to the south. Fermented and aged in barrels, that steeliness comes from reduction, requiring a vigorous shake of the glass to reveal the scents of chalk and meadow flowers. This is seriously savory, stony and pale, its flavor persistence suggesting a long life ahead.   – T.T.
