2022 Jean-Michel Gaunoux-Hudelot Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes

90-92 Points, Neal Martin – “The 2022 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has an aromatic profile that lies somewhere between the richness of the Les Genevrieres and the tension of the Goutte d’Or. Though marked by a little SO2, it still conveys a well-defined Meursault and should develop well once in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly viscous entry. Very good concentration and power. It’s honeyed towards the finish, implying a touch of botrytis. It should age well in bottle..”

90-92 Points, Matthew Hemming MW  -“A fleshier, more generous expression of Meursault. There is density, matter and weight, giving breadth on the mid-palate.  The body is full and there is a ripe, chewy texture.  Broadens out on the finish with white stone fruit and melted butter notes.”
