Meursault Charmes 2015 - Premier Cru - Patrick Javillier

Premier Cru Charmes is one of the most sought-after and renowned white wines in Burgundy. Here proposed in vintage 2009, this beautiful Meursault is a nugget perfectly successful by Patrick Javillier !

Rich in a year reduced in quantity in Meursault but very beautiful in quality, this Meursault offers all the characteristics of this very great white wine of Burgundy: fat, opulence, length in the mouth and aromatic richness.

The soil and subsoil consists of 40% clay, 40% silt and fine sand and finally, 20% coarser sands, all things that form a very favorable soil for Chardonnay, planted here in the early 1990s. Its elaboration follows Burgundian traditions, with manual harvesting and aging in French oak barrels.

Its mouth is powerful, long and structured. It is made for very important guards. It has a bright golden yellow dress. The nose and fine and delicate, with aromas of honey, dried fruits and vanilla woody. On the palate there are mineral notes.

Ample and fat wine in the finish, the length is simply exceptional!

12 to 14°

Wine Characteristics


There are observable but minor differences between the wines of the different Climats (named plots). In most cases, Meursault is greeny-gold in colour or canary yellow, leaning towards bronze as it ages. Limpid and brilliant, it sometimes exhibits silvery highlights. Its bouquet has strong aromas of ripe grapes. The young wine is redolent of toasted almonds and hazelnuts in a floral (mayflower, elder, bracken, lime, verbena) and mineral (flint) setting. Butter, honey, and citrus fruits are also present. On the palate it is rich and fat with a cheerful and appealing taste of hazelnut. Unctuousness and freshness are in silky balance. Long and structured, it needs time to mature - this is a great white wine for laying down.

Wine Steward’s Tip


Its aromatic power and exceptional balance between fat and acidity make it an aristocrat among burgundies. Unsurprisingly, it has a natural affinity with noble and fine-textured fish or meat, which it can match without overpowering. It performs a similar feat with joints of veal or poultry in white sauce, which are rendered sublime by the wine’s unctuous texture and long, distinguished acidity. Still better are grilled lobster, crawfish, or king prawns in sauce - dishes whose aromatic intensity and crisp texture match the lively and supple balance of the wine. Even blue cheeses and foie gras take to it immediately.
Serving temperature: 12 to 14°C.
 

Situation


The hard Comblanchian limestone which disappears deep underground around Nuits-Saint-Georges reappears here where, as one moves southward, red wines give way to whites. Nowhere in the Côte de Beaune does the
Chardonnay grape do better than it does here. Along the village streets are a succession of little houses belonging to the vineyard workers, mixed with more imposing dwellings. The stone-work on the 53 metre-high church tower looks like it could be the work of fairies. The excellent soils were planted with vines by the monks of Cîteaux as early as 1098. A small amount of red wine is produced here, though white definitely dominates. Meursault’s appellation of origin status dates from 1937.
 

Terroirs

The best soils are found at heights of 260 metres with exposures along an arc between East and South. They consist of Jurassic marls and marly limestones.
There are some patches of magnesian limestone. The ancient callovien limestone and argovien marls shave the crus.
