2022 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes, Domaine du Pavillon

Most of the holding of 1.2 hectares lies in the upper part of the Charmes where the soil is a little finer, which helps to give the wine more drive and bite than some broader examples. 25% new oak feels about right, and the oak sits quietly at the back without disturbing the natural authority of the wine, but helping to give it a slightly more accessible, commercial edge. Drink from 2027.
