2013 Olivier Leflaive Meursault 1er Cru Charmes

As the largest village in the Cote de Beaune, Meursault has a winemaking history dating back to Roman times. Often seen as the richest and most rounded of the main white appellations in Burgundy, there are still stylistic differences across the large area. While there are no Grand Cru vineyards in Meursault, three 1er Cru plots stand apart as genuine rivals to the best whites in Burgundy; Charmes, Perrieres, and Genevrieres.

Other Reviews....
While there is a hint of matchstick present it doesn't materially impede the appreciation of the very Meursault nose of hazelnut and white orchard fruit aromas that precede the rich, delicious and cool flavors that possess both good detail and fine dry extract levels that coat the palate on the tension-filled, linear and slightly lean finish. There is enough underlying material present that this should flesh out with a few years of bottle age.
