Nicolas Gauffroy Meursault 'Charmes' Premier Cru 2023
Vintage Character
2023 is a rare Burgundy vintage that offers both quality and quantity, with ripe fruit in a large crop. Summer weather was unstable, but a sunny, hot end to the season ripened the fruit while keeping alcohol moderate. Red and white alike show a balance in which alcohol, acidity, tannin and fruit sit in harmony, and the wines are charming young. In 2023, the Meursault 'Charmes' Premier Cru from Domaine Gauffroy reflects that season. Les Charmes is one of the best-known premier crus of Meursault and often gives a rounder, more generous style. Premier cru is the level just below grand cru and is reserved for named sites of recognised quality.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Ripe pear, white peach and hazelnut lead, with butter, toasted almond and a hint of honey. It is dry and medium-to-full-bodied, with medium-high acidity. The palate is rounded and rich, with enough acidity to keep the weight fresh. With age it deepens into toasted nuts, honey and dried fruit. Roast chicken, lobster with butter and creamy mushroom dishes suit its richness. Serve at about 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, and avoid over-chilling so the aromas can open. Chardonnay is a flexible grape that reflects its site, from the steely edge of Chablis to the richness of the Côte de Beaune. It also suits a glass at the start of a meal, since the acidity wakes up the palate.
Winery Background
Domaine Gauffroy Marc & Fils has been in the centre of Meursault since 1938, and Nicolas Gauffroy represents the third generation. The family's focus is almost entirely on white wines, mainly from Meursault and Puligny. Alongside the family label, Nicolas now makes his own range under his own name, and he works beside his father in both vineyard and cellar. This wine sits in the village where the Gauffroy family has lived since 1938.
