The 2021 Olivier Leflaive Meursault 1er Cru Charmes is a beautifully layered white Burgundy that showcases the richness, finesse and elegance of one of Meursault’s most celebrated Premier Cru vineyards. Crafted from Chardonnay grown on clay-rich limestone soils, it opens with refined aromas of toasted hazelnut, citrus, white peach and fresh butter, layered with delicate floral notes and subtle oak spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a silky, generous texture balanced by vibrant acidity and mineral precision. Flavours of lemon curd, orchard fruit and fine savoury complexity lead into a long, polished and beautifully balanced finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Premier Cru Burgundy for customers who enjoy classic Meursault richness with freshness and precision rather than excessive heaviness. It combines texture, depth and elegance in a highly refined style that will reward both early drinking and cellaring. Drink now with decanting or cellar comfortably over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with lobster, roast chicken, creamy mushroom dishes or fine French cuisine.
