Xavier oversees the family estate, which was originally known as Domaine René Monnier, named after his grandfather. Following her husband`s untimely passing, Xavier`s mother, who married a Monnot from Maranges, managed the estate until Xavier`s return to Meursault in 1994. This particular release hails from their 1.20-hectare plot in the Premier Cru `Les Charmes`. Xavier`s approach leans toward harvesting at an ideal moment, avoiding early picking, while still achieving an admirable level of tension that prevents the wines from becoming overly rich.
Vinous
The 2018 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru comes from the Dessus and Les Dessous lieux-dits. It has a clean, precise bouquet, quite focused and sporting a discernible sea spray aroma. The well-balanced palate delivers orange peel and marmalade on the entry. This displays fine depth and better tension on the finish compared to the Les Chevalières. Recommended.
