Peter Maude Fine Wines
2022, Domaine Darviot-Perrin, MEURSAULT, 1er Cru, 'Charmes'
$240
Darviot-Perrin's vines in Les Charmes are in the upper Charmes Dessus section of the climat. Planted in 1965.
Pale lemon colour. The nose is quite discreet, suggesting a volume of fruit but holding back for the moment. The palate is a whole other ball game though, with a brilliant depth of fruit that still treads so lightly. The acidity is completely folded in, this even shows some minerality by Charmes standards. And very long indeed at the finish. Drink from 2030-2038.
