Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes-Dessus is showing well, wafting from the glass with notes of pear, white flowers, peach, fresh pastry and praline. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, muscular and textural, with succulent acids and an expansive finish. It's being matured in a 600-liter barrel.
