Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Meursault 1er Cru Charmes 2011 from Comtes-Lafon has a slightly austere bouquet with touches of white flower and melted butter developing with aeration, while maintaining fine delineation and focus. The palate is clean and fresh with good acidity, vibrant citrus fruit and a wonderfully poised and vibrant finish that lacks a little persistence in the mouth. Score: 91 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2014-2028 01 November 2014 |

An expressive and very pure nose is composed of aromas of hazelnut, citrus, acacia blossom and extract of peach and apricot. There is terrific underlying tension and plenty of minerality to the medium-bodied flavors that possess almost painful intensity on the explosively persistent finish. This is first-rate though moderate patience will be required. Outstanding Score: 93 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2018+ 15 June 2014 |

A big, broad-shouldered wine, the 2011 Meursault Charmes sweeps across the palate with notable breadth, creaminess and volume. Layers of yellow-fleshed fruit and sweet spices blossom in the glass. Ultimately, the 2011 is a wine of texture above all else. There is plenty of energy and depth, but unlike the 2010, the 2011 will drink well right out of the gate. Score: 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2015+ 01 September 2013 |
