Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 93/100
Fresh pale colour, with some floral elegance to the bouquet. Predominantly white fruit, though in a fully ripe style, with a touch of clean reductive acidity at the back, is a very well-made wine.Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com (May 2019)

The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes comes from two parcels, the lower one touched by frost, so that the production is a modest 15% down. It has a pleasant reduction on the nose, well defined however, with good intensity. The palate is very well balanced and is bestowed the richness one expects from this vineyard, counterbalanced by a saline thread that governs the second half. An interesting wine predestined for aging, this is one of the best wines from Antoine Jobard in 2016.Neil Martin - 29/12/2017

Strong reduction renders the nose unreadable today. On the plus side, there is outstanding richness and an abundance of dry extract suffusing the opulent sappy medium-bodied flavours yet focused on the reasonably refined finale. This should be accessible young but age effortlessly over the course of the next decade.Drink from 2024 onwardallen_meadows, burghound_com.com (June 2018)

About this wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
