"Lovely and built-to-age"
2017 Germain Meursault 1er Cru Charmes

Posted by Ian McFadden

Germain's 2017 collection is brilliant.

Today, we're happy to offer one of the top wines of the collection, the Meursault 1er Cru Charmes. 

Germain really amazes with the way that the wines show such expansiveness and concentration while being so rigorous, finely etched, and focused.

His Charmes dramatically highlights the style. Along with Genevrières and Perrières, Charmes is one of Meursault's great sites. Compared to the others, Charmes is known for its grandeur that if not handled thoughtfully can get a bit plump. In Germain's hands, Charmes assumes a shocking amount of finesse and definition while possessing seriously impressive volume.

The 2017 Charmes is a dynamite wine. The balance, finesse, and purity is really compelling. It's enveloping, deeply complex, and exactingly detailed. 

Before wrapping up, I should underscore how rare Germain's Charmes is. Currently, these are the only bottles available in the U.S. Given the rarity and the wine's sheer quality, I expect a quick sell out.

Burghound: "Once again there is a strong petrol influence on the citrusy aromas of white peach, matchstick and hazelnut. There is yet again excellent volume to the caressing yet powerful medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the well-delineated, balanced and classier finish. This too is lovely and built-to-age."
