Meursault Charmes 2010 Guy Roulot

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (96)

In 2010, the Meursault Charmes is defined by precision and cut. A pure, crystalline wine, it shows fabulous balance and tons of pedigree. White stone fruits, pears, apples and jasmine all come to life as the wine virtually sparkles on the palate with its irrepressible energy. The finish is exceptionally beautiful, polished and vibrant. This is one of the most taut, tense Charmes readers will come across. Roulot is quite candid in explaining that his location in Charmes is not optimal. Instead he believes organic farming, practiced here since 2000, is the main reason the Charmes is gaining in minerality as the years pass. Incidentally, Roulot made the same comment on the Meix Chevaux. Regardless, this is an utterly magnificent wine.
