2019 Joseph Drouhin Meursault 1er Cru "Charmes" Blanc

Vintage : 2019
Region : Burgundy
Country : France
Winemaker Notes
The 2019 Joseph Drouhin Meursault 1er Cru "Charmes" Blanc beautifully reflects a warm, low-yielding Burgundy vintage that yielded exceptional concentration balanced by a vibrant thread of freshness. In the glass, it displays a brilliant golden color without leaning overly yellow, introducing a concentrated and elegant nose rich with aromas of ripe stone fruit, sweet almond, warm croissants, and a delicate touch of white flowers and hazelnut. On the palate, the wine showcases the classic, generous breadth of the Charmes vineyard, offering a layered profile of juicy peach, pear, and lemon curd. Despite its voluptuous, silky texture and round body, the wine never feels heavy or dominant in alcohol; rather, it is anchored by a seamlessly integrated, refreshing acidity and a kiss of gentle oak spice. It expands beautifully across the palate and culminates in a remarkably long, nutty aftertaste that echoes notes of hot brioche and almond paste, signaling a white Burgundy that is already drinking wonderfully but possesses the depth to age gracefully for another decade.
About Winery
Maison Joseph Drouhin was founded in 1880 in Beaune, Burgundy, by Joseph Drouhin, and has since grown into one of the region’s most respected wine producers. Over the generations, the family expanded its holdings to include vineyards across Burgundy—such as Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise—and later established Domaine Drouhin Oregon in the Willamette Valley. Today, the estate remains family-run by Joseph’s great-grandchildren, who continue the tradition of producing elegant wines with a focus on terroir and sustainable practices, including organic certification for their Burgundy vineyards since 2009
