Ballot Millot Meursault Charmes 1er Cru 2020 (750ML)

93-96 JM

The holding is at the top of upper Charmes where there is just 40cm of top soil. Mid lemon and lime in colour, with a mineral reduction on the nose, alongside a powerful concentration of fruit. Many layers building on the nose, ripe citrus peel among pears, more exotic behind. A rich bright texture, this has not quite fallen clear and that also shows in the flesh of the palate. More lees give the fat but this will refine, and be top class. Tasted: 10/1/2021.--Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
