Vinous (92-94)
The 2019 Meursault Les Charmes-Dessus 1er Cru has a slightly richer bouquet compared to Bouzereau’s other cuvées, presenting dried honey and orange pith scents plus honeysuckle and beeswax. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Harmonious and full of energy. The vibrant citrus/lime finish fans out wonderfully and the spicy aftertaste is one of the longest I have found on this particular cuvée. Superb.Inc. TAX€637.76 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2019 Meursault Perrières 1er Cru has a tight, focused nose of gunflint and gravel, expressing this noble vineyard extremely well in the sense that it could not be from anywhere else. The palate is well balanced with touches of orange peel, ginger and light savory notes on the entry. Quite a phenolically driven Perrières, it has wonderful length, even if it does not quite have the clinical precision of, say, Dominique Lafon’s own Perrières. Still, this is a well-crafted, quite sublime Meursault.Inc. TAX€573.86 -

The 2019 Meursault Les Grands Charrons, also taken from tank, has a well-defined bouquet of citrus fruit infused with touches of yellow flower; hints of apricot blossom emerge with time. The palate is well balanced with a brisk, citrus- and lime-tinged entry. Taut at the moment, but there is palpable energy here, and a persistent, ginger-infused finish. Excellent.Inc. TAX€584.02 -

Vinous (90-92)
The 2020 Meursault Les Grands Charrons is raised half in demi-muids and half in traditional Burgundy barrels with around 20% new oak. This is a little resinous on the nose, touches of beeswax and honeysuckle, needing a little coaxing from the glass. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh, just the right amount of bitterness with stem ginger towards the spicy finish. Lovely.Inc. TAX€682.38 -

The 2021 Meursault Les Grands Charrons has a charming bouquet with yellow plum, vanilla pod and light apricot blossom scents, quite Charmes-like in style. The palate is well balanced with a fresh, slightly tangy entry, orange rind and hints of mango, vibrant in style with a brisk and breezy, elegant finish. Lovely, but I would enjoy this over the first ten years of its life.Inc. TAX€1,137.42 -

Clear pale lemon. The nose is a little richer and riper – also, because this has not yet been racked out of barrel, the Tesson shows the oak a touch more than the preceding wines, but it is nicely integrated. We have moved up a step in intensity. Very good fruit acid balance, this will be a Meursault to savour in 4 to 6 years. Tasted: 10/1/2021Inc. TAX€804.78
