The 1969 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes sported a burnished golden hue, commensurate with its age. There was a slight mustiness on the nose, resinous and earthy, Seville orange marmalade loitering in the background. The palate has a pleasant viscosity, surprisingly rich and opulent, almost like a slightly oxidized old Barsac. What it misses is the requisite tension on the finish. Tasted December 2015.
