Michel Picard, Charmes, Meursault 1er Cru, Burgundy, 2010

Tasting: Meursault 1er Cru 2010

Surprisingly neutral nose, though there is some discernible oak. Good attack, lean and taut, concentrated, with a light phenolic tone that adds complexity, appley and vibrant. Good length, with an invigorating sweet and sour finish.

Tight on the nose. The palate is more open, with exotic fruits and a slight coconut flavour, maybe from the oak. The acid is medium and the length is medium.

Very ripe and quite succulent on the palate with good acidity to back it up. A broadly flavoured, quite structured wine, with a bit more weight than finesse.
