Les Charmes is considered the archetype of Meursault wines. This appellation is the largest of the Meursault Premier Cru wines. We own four plots, of which 70% are located in Charmes Dessus.
Les Charmes is a well-balanced wine with both the ampleness of the Charmes Dessous and the minerality and elegance of the Charmes Dessus. Charming in appearance, it is both powerful and full-bodied with a soft and full finish.
