Meursault Charmes 1er Cru 2023

Meursault Charmes 1er Cru is produced in the Meursault appellation, located in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy, France. This vineyard is renowned for its exceptional terroir and high-quality white wines.

The wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, the signature white grape variety of Burgundy.

Boyer-Martenot employs traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques for this Premier Cru. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, with a portion of new oak used to enhance complexity. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged on fine lees for several months to develop richness and texture.

• Appearance: Bright golden yellow color with greenish reflections.
• Aroma: Intense bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, white flowers, honey, and subtle toasted oak.
• Palate: Rich and full-bodied with flavors of ripe peach, apricot, and a hint of citrus zest, balanced by vibrant acidity and a creamy texture.
• Finish: Long, elegant finish with mineral nuances and a touch of vanilla.

This Meursault Charmes 1er Cru pairs excellently with:

• Roasted or grilled white meats such as chicken or veal
• Seafood dishes including lobster, scallops, and grilled fish
• Rich creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert
• Delicate mushroom dishes and risottos
