Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, Latour Giraud

Note:

Half comes from the upper part of Charmes and half below. One ouvree is from 1930. Bright lemon colour, just bottled on Tuesday but even through the light sulphur I can detect the soft weight of classic Charmes. Still some gas here, yellow fruit, a light butteriness but enough grip to maintain the balance. Really very good wine. Long and nuanced. Ripe lemon zest notes as well. Jean Pierre wants to avoid a massive Charmes and he succeeds. Tasted: February 2021
