Tessier's Charmes Dessus is an incredibly exciting bottle of white Burgundy.
These days, I rarely get to offer Burgundy from such great terroir and crafted with such skill at a relatively accessible price. I strongly suggest that you pick up a few bottles.

Along with Genevrières and Perrières, Charmes is one of Meursault's great sites. Tessier's Charmes is aided by old vines planted in 1948 and by being situated in the 1er Cru's sweet spot. Charmes Dessus is just below the village's greatest 1er Cru, Les Perrières.
Tessier’s version is Charmes at its best, combining grandeur and rigor. A knock against Charmes is that the site can be a little plump. That's certainly not the case with Tessier. Charmes here is tension-filled with a packed mid-palate and sculpted precision.
The 2023 Charmes combines laser focus and power in an amazing way. There's intense cut and beautiful refinement. The class and harmony are hard to deny.
As we've written before, it's exciting to see a producer with such a feel for terroir. I'm very happy to be able to offer this.
