The names Charmes was first mentioned back in 1366, and is a corruption of Chaume, which
means land without vegetation. The land is flat
with deep soil that grows frank, strong wines that
are characterised more by intensity than finesse.
The size of the vineyard (at 31 hectares, it's the
largest premier cru in Meursault) makes it
difficult to generalise. Domaine Latour-Giraud
owns 50 ares of vines divided between lower
(Dessous) and upper (Dessus) Charmes, which
produce one bold cuvée.
Medium to full lemon yellow. The nose has the
sensuous richness which characterises Charmes,
and the oak seems more prominent. No more new oak has been used for the Charmes but a particular barrel
may have given this buttery edge. Jean-Pierre plans to fine this a little more to bring it more into line with the
others. The core wine on the palate has the distinction of the other Meursaults, though the buttery note
resurfaces at the finish. I have lowered the score based on today’s tasting but have confidence that the final
wine will merit more. In fact, the finish encourages me to go up again. Nine barrels, two new, one an experiment,
one traditional in its toasting.
