The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, which I tasted from a bottle closed under DIAM, was reticent at first, but gradually reveals scents of melted butter and almond, demonstrating good intensity. The palate is very well balanced, lightly spiced with citrus fruit, white peach, walnut and nectarine as it fans out with a sense of confidence on the pithy finish. This is a really well-crafted white Burgundy from Xavier Monnot, destined to give pleasure over the next 10-12 years.
