The Meursault 1er Cru “Les Charmes-Dessus” is located on the upper part of the climat*. Here,
the wines are more complex, deep and mineral. The nose offers apricot and hazelnut flavours with
a hint of fresh butter, whilst the taste attacks with a beautiful minerality.
“Aromas of ripe citrus fruit, green apple and pear—framed by notes of smoke and iodine—
introduce the 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes Dessus, a medium to full-bodied, broad and
succulent wine with good old-vine concentration, excellent mid-palate amplitude and a long,
delineated finish. Planted in 1948, this is Tessier’s oldest holding.”
