2020 Domaine Thierry & Pascale Matrot 'Charmes' Premier Cru Meursault

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "The 2020 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru comes from three parcels, 70% Charmes-Dessus and 30% Charmes-Dessous, has a beautifully defined bouquet with no new oak, despite its subtle creaminess implying there might be, say 20% or so. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tension, taut and quite saline with an edgy, quite saline finish not unlike a Puligny. Razor-sharp Meursault!"


Burghound - "A markedly floral-suffused nose speaks mainly of various ripe white orchard fruit, hazelnut and lemon zest. There is both better volume and richness to the beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the seriously persistent if youthfully austere finale. While this too could use a bit more depth, this wine has a superb track record for aging out well. *Sweet Spot, Outstanding!*"
