95 Points -  Lafon's 2023 Meursault Charmes is an instant classic, with aromas of ripe apple and hazelnut accented with a bit of smoky reduction and buttery depth. The texture is rich yet lively, and the wine lingers persistently on the palate. It is produced from very old vines from 60-95 years old that are located at the southern end of Charmes Dessus, bordered by Perrières and Puligny-Combottes. The youngest vines are declassified, and the grapes are pressed as whole clusters before fermenting and ageing in cask (25% new) over two winters.

93-95 Points - Made from a minimum 35 year old vines, some much older. Pale lemon yellow, maybe a light green tint. A touch of honeysuckle but mostly the full weight of Charmes. A significant volume and crunch on the palate, a huge amount going on, not yet so well in place as yet. Drink from 2030-2037.
