Meursault 1er cru "Les Charmes Dessus" 2022 Vincent Girardin
The Meursault 1er Cru "Les Charmes Dessus" from Vincent Girardin is a pinnacle of balance. Sourced from the upper part of the vineyard, where the limestone soil is closest to the surface, this wine combines the legendary generosity of "Les Charmes" with the crystalline precision of high-altitude terroirs. Aged with meticulous care in 500-liter barrels, it reveals a complex nose of linden flowers, fresh hazelnut, and ripe citrus, underscored by saline minerality. On the palate, the texture is creamy and fleshy, yet immediately propelled by a vibrant acidity that carries the finish toward notes of fresh butter and flint. A masterful white of rare elegance, embodying the quintessence of modern Meursault: rich, pure, and intensely mineral.

The Prestige of the "Dessus": Where Opulence Meets Stone While the Charmes vineyard is vast, the upper section ("Les Charmes Dessus") is by far the most noble. Located just below Genevrières and adjacent to Perrières, it offers a much more ethereal profile than the lower slopes.
-
Surgical Minerality: Thanks to Eric Germain's technical direction, the estate has moved away from heavy oak aging. The use of large-format barrels preserves the brilliance of the fruit and the limestone signature of the soil.
-
Complexity and Texture: This wine offers the typical Meursault "fat"—that silky mouthfeel—but with no lack of tension. It is a quiet force, a powerful wine of great distinction.
-
Aging Potential: A 1er Cru of this stature can be enjoyed in its youth for its energy but will reveal its full aristocratic dimension after 7 to 12 years of cellaring.
