Neal Martin, December 2014, Score: 91-93
There are just three barrels, half the usual amount of the 2013 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes this year. What survived has an elegant, pure bouquet that shows a little wood but that will be subsumed with time. The palate is concentrated with perhaps the most weight of Jean-Marc’s 2013s: quite dense with a lovely Clementine and apricot-tinged finish, a hint of spice on the aftertaste. Excellent. Drink: 2016 - 2032
Region
Meursault
Meursault is the first great white wine area that one stumbles upon on leaving Beaune. Unlike other white dominated appellations in Burgundy, Meursault has no grand cru vineyards. It nonetheless has significant flair and power which make up for this deficiency. Indeed, if tasted blind some of these wines could even surpass other Burgundian grand crus. They are no fainting daisies. This may partially be due to Meursault's lower water table which enables the roots to delve deep in the soil picking up many trace minerals and which further stresses the vines. In addition, the cellars are more profound and cooler, enabling long fermentations, which increase complexity and longevity. Some interesting red wines are also made.
