Vintage Character The 2022 Vincent Girardin Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes-Dessus exemplifies the elegance and depth for which this renowned premier cru is celebrated. Benefiting from a warm, dry growing season with limited yields, the 2022 vintage in Burgundy produced Chardonnays of notable concentration and aromatic intensity, while maintaining the region’s hallmark freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This wine opens with enticing aromas of white peach, ripe pear, toasted almond, and delicate citrus blossom, interwoven with nuances of hazelnut and fresh butter. The palate is both opulent and precise, revealing layers of stone fruit, lemon curd, and subtle spice, all supported by a persistent mineral backbone and an elegant, lingering finish. Its harmonious balance between richness and vibrancy makes it a superb match for classic Western seafood such as seared scallops with beurre blanc or oven-roasted turbot, as well as creamy cheeses like Brie de Meaux.
