Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes 2015 Domaine Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

MEURSAULT 1ST GROWTH CHARMES

オークは脇役、果実とテロワールが主役。

ブルゴーニュ白の頂点を担う造り手による、この上なく端正な一本です。輝きのあるレモンイエローから、シトラスにドライパイナップル、空気に触れると樹脂や蜜蝋を思わせる香りが立ち上がります。レモンとライムの張りのある果実味に、澱由来の複雑さとミネラル感、ミントのニュアンスが絡み、シャープな酸と塩気が輪郭を描きます。フィニッシュはレモンシャーベットのような爽やかさ。甘鯛の松笠焼きや帆立のソテーとともに。

Tasting note

Brilliant lemon yellow. The captivating aroma of citrus fruits and a hint of dried pineapple develops into notes of resin and beeswax as it breathes. The crisp fruitiness of lemon and lime intertwines with the complexity and minerality from the lees and a hint of mint, creating a medium-bodied style with sharp acidity and a saline quality. The acidity is ample, and the finish is surprisingly long and expansive. The finish has the refreshing quality of lemon sorbet, resulting in a Chablis with tension and elegance. It is lean and muscular, with a more structural character than Lafon's Charmes.

Food pairing

Tilefish with Crispy Scales Roasted Chicken or Duckling Sautéed Scallops or Prawns

Winemaking & technical data

From 55-60 year old vines. Located in a parcel once tended by Lafon (above Charmes, below Perrières)

Made from very old vines, with 2-3% Chardonnay Musqué blended in to enhance complexity.

Fermented with 100% native yeasts in barrel. Regardless of whether the plot was inherited, purchased, or leased, harvesting is meticulously carried out at the peak of ripeness.

Pressed at a higher pressure than usual, imparting texture and aging potential through natural phenols.

No bâtonnage is performed to prevent premature oxidation, and a cool cellar is maintained to encourage malolactic fermentation. Large barrels are used to minimize oak influence, prioritizing balance and elegance. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, and sealed with wax over natural cork.
