The name 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. Half and half between upper and lower Charmes. A bright rich lemon colour. Attractive but not especially demonstrative. Offering breadth and depth, there is no edge to the fruit, a significant mouthful of white orchard fruit, mostly at the back of the palate, intelligent oaking, correct acidity, and very persistent. I find more character in one or two of Jean-Pierre Latour’s wines but this is properly Charmes
