Olivier Leflaive, Charmes, Meursault 1er Cru, Burgundy, 2010

Tasting: Meursault 1er Cru 2010

Ripe, stylish appley nose. Rich, spicy, tight and concentrated, with a fine acidic backbone that gives zest and persistence. Not very nuanced now, but needs time to fill out. Good length, citric finish.

Tasting: Meursault 1er Cru 2010

Quite tight on the nose; the oak is prominent here. The palate is concentrated and there are minerals underneath the oak and peachy fruit. The acid is good and the finish is long.

Tasting: Meursault 1er Cru 2010

Ripe peaches and pears on the nose, dry herbs and dry honey. Long fruit flavours and fine back-up of acidity. Lots of depth and lots of character to come out, and will last well.
