Producer notes from Francois Mikulski:

"The Charmes appellation represents a surface area of 31 hectares in the Commune of Meursault. The Meursault Premier Cru les Charmes vineyards that we have cultivated since 1992 on a sharecropping basis (50% of the crop for the owner, 50% for the tenant). They cover a total area of 0.66 hectares. The average age of the vines is 50 years. The vines are 100% Chardonnay. Annual production: around 3,700 bottles. The vines are cultivated using non-certified organic methods. The subsoil consists of a base of rock plates. By ageing with just 20% in new barrels, and the rest in barrels that have held one, two or three wines, we preserve the unique character of the terroir.

This is a Premier Cru  with a nose of mimosa honey, Turkish Delight, followed by flowers, carnation-lilac-violet, bergamot-nutmeg spice… a mouthfeel of poached white fruits, grilled hazelnuts, white chocolate, sappy, sensual, an intense finish, long in the mouth."
