Other Reviews....
A markedly floral-suffused nose speaks mainly of various ripe white orchard fruit, hazelnut and lemon zest. There is both better volume and richness to the beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the seriously persistent if youthfully austere finale. While this too could use a bit more depth, this wine has a superb track record for aging out well. Drink through 2030+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

The 2020 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru comes from three parcels, 70% Charmes-Dessus and 30% Charmes-Dessous, has a beautifully defined bouquet with no new oak, despite its subtle creaminess implying there might be, say 20% or so. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tension, taut and quite saline with an edgy, quite saline finish not unlike a Puligny. Razor-sharp Meursault! Drink 2025-2048.

Neal Martin - Vinous

Still in barrel, unracked. Pale colour, little or no nose. Racy and generous with weight of fruit behind, more body than Chalumeaux but less finesse, show the oak a touch even without any new barrel. Solid rather than flamboyant.
