“Unwinding in the glass with aromas of pear, toasted bread, praline and white flowers, framed by a touch of youthful reduction, Germain’s 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with fine concentration, chalky structuring extract and tangy acids. Elegantly muscular and penetrating, this is a seamless, complete Charmes.” 92-94 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“The 2019 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru has a lifted nose, although for me there is a bit too much oak that occludes the fruit profile at the moment. Leaving the glass aside for five minutes, a light wet clay scent develops. The palate is based around what clearly must be a low pH, full of tension and nerve, and displaying just the right amount of bitterness toward the finish. The energy in this nascent wine should ensure longevity.” 91-93 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
Sweet Spot. Outstanding. “An exuberantly spicy nose offers up notes of both white and yellow fleshed fruit, petrol and plenty of floral elements. Once again there is impressive density to the delicious, rich and punchy medium weight flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the unusually powerful, complex and strikingly long finish. This is most impressive and a wine that should also reward extended keeping.” 92-94 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound

From a tiny patch of vines within Smith’s vineyard. More new wood here and longer time in barrel, so it’s essentially classically styled and not a ‘contemporary’ expression as the other chardonnays are. Beautifully pure aromas of spring jasmine, honeycomb, mandarin, yellow and white peach and very fine oak. Very deep, brooding, fleshy, a masterclass […]

Such a flinty nose that delivers a full package of minerality. Quarry, chalk, gun powder and lime. The nose really speaks to you. Creamy and textured on the palate with bright but chiselled acidity and real tension. One of the best Mainque’s ever? Chacra’s answer to fine Chablis. Drink or hold. From biodynamically grown grapes. […]
Read more Producer: Bodega ChacraThe 2018 Meursault Le Limozin wafts from the glass with notes of ripe pear, orange rind, hazelnuts and sourdough. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and lively, with a broader attack than the more incisive Chevalières, concluding with a saline finish. 90-92 points, William Kelly, The Wine Advocate Outstanding. Top Value. A […]
Add to cart Producer: Henri GermainLight straw colour with a reserved lemon/grapefruit aroma, fresh and penetrating, the palate brisk and bright with vibrant acidity and intense grapefruit/lemon flavours that persist the full length of the very long palate. Superb vitality and balance. It promises to reward cellaring too. Tremendously concentrated and compact, with extreme drive and massive persistence, it positively […]
