Domaine Buisson-Battault Meursault 1er Cru Charmes 2018

Description

From three plots, planted 1964, 1967 and 2007, which straddle Charmes Dessous and Desus. One year in barrel, 10% new, then six to eight months in tank on fine lees. Francois says the deeper clay in this vineyard gives a generous wine, and this is always the fullest bodied wine in the line up. The 2018 shows honeysuckle and pithy citrus fruit on the nose. Mouth filling attack, this doesn’t have the mineral grip of some of the wines, though it isn’t short of freshness. Super length and intensity which really saturates the palate with flavour and concentration, feels classically Meursault, with breadth and depth.
