Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes Domaine Louis Jadot 2014

The wine

Meursault is undoubtedly the capital of Burgundy white wines. Some Premiers Crus are world renowned (Les Perrières, Les Charmes, Les Poruzots, Les Genevrières, Gouttes D’Or) and all combine subtlety and strength and the option to be enjoyed young or a few years later. There is a small production of reds and the white Meursault have a very heady bouquet, typically bitter or dry almond, foliage, crust of warm bread, apple reinette. On the palette they are very consistent with an abundant softness, almost creamy. The taste lingers for considerable time.

About the Producer Louis Jadot

Based in Beaune, it combines historic stature with remarkable vitality, continuing to attract leading figures of the wine world to shape and interpret its many terroirs. Now owned by an American family, the wines are crafted under the assured direction of Frédéric Barnier, who safeguards the house’s hallmark precision and consistency. These unwavering standards are what sets Maison Jadot apart in Burgundy. With 225 hectares under vine and representation across 130 appellations, not only in the Côte d’Or but also in the Mâconnais and Beaujolais, wine lovers can expect genuine pleasure at every price level, always easily identifiable by the iconic Bacchus head on the label. The estate favours traditional winemaking methods, with slow fermentations and extended ageing. Chemical herbicides are prohibited and yields are strictly limited. A house where scale never eclipses identity, and tradition continues to shape every bottle.
