Philippe Pacalet, Meursault Charmes Size:12x750ml cigar smoke and floral top

cigar smoke and floral top notes are the prelude to a savoury

with sage and tapenade followed by black cherry and blackberry

A pungent nose of soft reduction and wood toast largely pushes what appears to be ripe fruit to the background

More interesting are the velvety and utterly delicious medium weight flavors that possess better volume and particularly so on the moderately rustic

with lively acids

Philippe Pacalet, Meursault Charmes Size:12x750ml cigar smoke and floral top(from Charmes Dessus). There is a vaguely leesy character to the otherwise fresh aromas of citrus rind, floral, pear and a whisper of wood. There is excellent intensity to the delicious and nicely detailed flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the bone dry finish that is also a bit attenuated. This too is going to need at least a few years to unwind and better flesh out.
