    • Description

      The Meursault Premier Cru Les Charmes Chavy-Chouet is among the absolute best of Burgundy. Hailing from the prestigious Premier Cru vineyard Les Charmes, directly adjacent to Puligny-Montrachet, this Chardonnay demonstrates why Meursault is globally regarded as one of the finest appellations for white wine. A refined wine where richness, elegance, and minerality perfectly converge.

      Creamy white fruit, hazelnut, and refined minerality

      This Premier Cru opens with elegant aromas of white blossom, ripe peach, apricot, and white stone fruit, followed by subtle notes of toasted hazelnuts, butter, and a refined minerality. The taste is rich and creamy without being heavy. Fresh acidity provides tension and balance, while the long, mineral finish gives this wine an impressive elegance.

      Premier Cru from one of Meursault's finest plots

      The Les Charmes vineyard was planted in the 1940s on a unique chalk and clay soil with a sandy top layer. The old vines produce small, concentrated grapes that provide great depth and complexity. After a careful manual harvest, the wine matures for twelve months in French oak barrels, some of which are new. This creates a beautiful balance between ripe fruit, subtle oak influences, and the characteristic freshness of Meursault. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

      Perfect with refined fish dishes and shellfish

      This Meursault is a brilliant accompaniment to lobster, turbot, scallops, and other luxurious fish dishes. Its rich character also comes into its own with creamy risottos, poultry with a delicate sauce, and refined dishes with truffle. Thanks to its elegant structure, this is a wine that offers great drinking pleasure now and can also age beautifully.
