Wine Expert Note:

Xavier Monnot Meursault 1er Cru 'Charmes' is an exceptional wine that showcases the elegance and complexity of Meursault Premier Cru. This wine is produced by Xavier Monnot, a renowned winery in Burgundy, France. On the nose, this wine offers a captivating bouquet of ripe yellow fruits, such as golden apple and pear, accompanied by delicate floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle. There is also a subtle hint of toasted almonds and hazelnuts, adding depth and complexity to the aromatic profile. The palate is equally impressive, with a rich and creamy texture that coats the mouth. Flavors of ripe citrus fruits, particularly lemon and grapefruit, take center stage, complemented by a touch of tropical fruit, such as pineapple. The well-integrated oak brings a gentle touch of vanilla and spice, enhancing the overall complexity of the wine. Xavier Monnot Meursault 1er Cru 'Charmes' displays a perfect balance between freshness and richness, with a vibrant acidity that provides a lively backbone to the wine. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of citrus zest and mineral nuances. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including roasted poultry, seafood, and creamy cheeses.
