" The Meursault 1er Cru Charmes has turned out especially well, perhaps unsurprisingly given the parcel's location in an enclave within Lafon's holdings next to the Tessier family's block. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of orange oil, pear, clear honey, toasted nuts and iodine that are framed by a deft touch of reduction, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with tangy acids and a long, saline finish. Just typing up this tasting note prompted me to add a few bottles to my cellar."
