Vintage Character The 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes-Dessus from Vincent Girardin is a benchmark expression of Chardonnay from one of the appellation’s most esteemed Premier Cru vineyards. The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was shaped by a mild spring followed by a warm, even summer, which fostered expressive fruit, vibrant acidity, and impressive clarity in the region’s white wines.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Meursault entices with aromas of ripe pear, white peach, toasted almond, and delicate citrus zest. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious interplay of creamy texture and mineral-driven tension, revealing layers of stone fruit, hazelnut, and a subtle touch of vanilla. The finish is long, elegant, and energetic, capturing the finesse and depth for which Les Charmes-Dessus is renowned. This wine is a superb match for dishes such as grilled lobster, roasted chicken with tarragon, or classic Comté cheese, each complementing its complexity and refined structure.
