Domaine des Terres de Velle Meursault Premier Cru Les Charmes Blanc 2018 Magnum

Domaine des Terres de Velle’s Meursault Premier Cru Les Charmes Blanc 2018 in magnum format is a rare, small-parcel Burgundy from one of the appellation’s most celebrated sites. With only around 300 magnums produced from a tiny 0.1644-hectare plot, this is a beautifully expressive Chardonnay that combines old-vine concentration, Premier Cru depth, and the added finesse that only Meursault can deliver.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the classic golden hues of mature white Burgundy, with a refined sheen that hints at both richness and precision. The nose is layered and inviting, with ripe peach and apricot leading the way, joined by delicate smoky oak, subtle spice, and a fine mineral undertone. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and textural, yet always lifted by a vibrant freshness that keeps everything in balance. The old vines, planted in 1936, bring complexity and a broad, generous mid-palate, while the finish is long, precise, and lightly saline. This is a wine with excellent cellaring potential, capable of evolving gracefully over many years and gaining further depth, honeyed nuance, and complexity with time.

Production
The wine comes from a tiny parcel in the lower part of Les Charmes, a site known for producing some of Meursault’s deepest, most expressive wines. The old Chardonnay vines, planted in 1936, grow in a terroir that naturally adds structure, richness, and mineral precision. The grapes are harvested by hand, and fermentation—both alcoholic and malolactic—takes place in oak barrels, followed by up to 18 months of ageing before bottling without filtration.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for refined fish dishes, especially noble white fish served with a rich sauce, such as monkfish, turbot, or sole with beurre blanc. It also pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, poultry in cream sauce, or mushroom-based dishes. Serve at around 12–14°C, and if possible, decant briefly to help the wine open up and show its full aromatic range.

Producer
Domaine des Terres de Velle is a small, family-run Burgundian producer known for crafting white wines with care, precision, and a strong sense of place. Their approach emphasizes old vines, thoughtful vineyard work, and low-intervention winemaking, which allows the character of each parcel to shine through. In a region famed for world-class Chardonnay, the domaine stands out for producing small quantities of highly expressive, terroir-driven wines, especially from prized Meursault sites.
