The 2010 Meursault Charmes wraps around the palate with seductive layers of rich, expressive fruit. There is plenty of suppleness and generosity, the only thing missing is the visceral thrill this premier cru site is capable of delivering. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. This is a solid set of wines from Olivier Leflaive's negociant operation. Importer: Frederick Wildman and Sons Ltd, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700

This is a rich, rounded wine, yet it also expresses a tight texture and nervy acidity. The toast influence is still dominating, although the fruitiness of this ripe selection is also showing. With its weight and structure, this is a prime candidate to age for several years. — (4/1/2013) —92
