The outstanding 1999 Meursault Charmes displays floral aromas and a lusciously rich personality. This fat, concentrated, satin-textured wine is medium-bodied and possesses a deep flavor profile packed with spiced pears, stones, and minerals whose flavors last throughout its decadently supple and long finish. This gorgeously sensual wine should be consumed over the next 7-8 years.
