The 2011 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Romanee is generous on the nose with scents of creme brulee and hazelnut that are very intense. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with crisp acidity, a touch of sour lemon and a lovely fresh, tense finish.

Jadot’s 2010 Meursault Charmes is rich, explosive and powerful. I can see the temptation to drink the Charmes early as it is quite expressive, but the wine really needs time to settle down. Endless layers of fruit build to the huge, dramatic finish.

The 2011 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes is a little closed on the nose at first and demands coaxing, gently opening with attractive stony scents. The palate is well-balanced with a fine thread of acidity. Nicely balanced with almost symmetrical precision on the finish, this just needs to develop a little more personality. Fine.

The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes has an attractive lifted nose, a little leesy at the moment with a spicy core developing in the glass. The palate is nicely balanced with a rounded, generous, quite rich opening - very charming as the name suggest, though I would like more minerality to be in situ toward the finish.

The 2009 Meursault Genevrieres boasts stunning depth and textural richness. The intense Genevrieres minerality is nearly buried by the sheer opulence of the fruit. Apricots, peaches, spices and flowers flesh out on the generous, radiant finish.

he 2010 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrieres displays a touch more precision on the nose than the 2010 Les Gouttes d’Or, opening wonderfully in the glass. The palate displays impressive weight and girth in the mouth allied with fine tension and subtle notes of walnut and spice toward the solid finish.
