Vintage Character The 2021 vintage in Burgundy brought a cool spring and significant frost, leading to reduced yields but imparting remarkable concentration and freshness to the region’s wines.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Domaine Philippe Chavy Meursault 'Les Charmes' Premier Cru 2021 exemplifies the finesse of this esteemed climat, with a bouquet that unfolds layers of white flowers, ripe pear, and toasted almond, complemented by subtle citrus zest and a hint of flint. The palate is supple and rich, balanced by lively acidity and a persistent mineral finish, where notes of hazelnut and brioche linger elegantly. Its creamy yet precise texture makes it an exceptional match for seared scallops, roast chicken with tarragon, or a classic Gruyère cheese, each pairing accentuating the wine’s complexity and refined character.
