A Premier Cru White Burgundy with Elegance and Ageing Potential
Experience the finesse of Domaine Potinet-Ampeau Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes 2011, a benchmark example of Premier Cru Meursault Chardonnay from the heart of Burgundy, France. Sourced from the renowned Les Charmes vineyard in Meursault, this exceptional wine showcases the classic expression of the region’s terroir—refined, complex, and richly textured.
Bottled in cases of 6 x 75cl, this wine has reached a graceful stage of maturity yet continues to evolve beautifully in bottle.
Tasting Notes: Complexity in Every Sip
In the glass, this white Burgundy presents a pale lemon hue, a visual prelude to its aromatic depth. The nose is pronounced, with layered notes of vanilla, cream, toasted bread, lime zest, and a touch of caramel. On the dry palate, vibrant high acidity supports a core of citrus and buttery oak, offering a medium body, medium alcohol, and a long, elegant finish. A wine that is currently drinking beautifully and will reward further cellaring.

Winery | The glass shows pale lemon, pronounced aromas and flavours, vanilla, cream, bread, lime toast, and a hint of caramel. The palate is dry, with high acidity, medium alcohol and body, and a long finish. This wine is developing; it can be drunk now but will continue to improve with bottle age. It is very good quality. |
