Domaine Dominique Lahaye Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes 2022

Domaine Dominique Lahaye Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes 2022 comes from one of Meursault’s most respected Premier Cru sites, where Chardonnay gains both richness and precision. Les Charmes is prized for its limestone and clay soils, which help produce wines with depth, aromatic complexity, and a distinctive mineral edge. This is a classic expression of Burgundy’s ability to combine power with finesse.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine is expected to show a bright, golden hue that hints at its concentration and Premier Cru pedigree. The nose should open with ripe stone fruit, pear, and citrus, layered with subtle notes of hazelnut, toasted bread, and a gentle creamy touch from oak aging. On the palate, it is likely to be generous and silkily textured, with the signature breadth of Meursault balanced by lively freshness and a fine mineral backbone. The finish should be long and focused, with enough structure to develop beautifully over the coming years. While already enjoyable for its expressive fruit, it also has the potential to gain further complexity with bottle age.

Production
The vineyards of Les Charmes benefit from a terroir of limestone and clay, an ideal combination for Chardonnay that encourages both aromatic richness and mineral tension. The grapes are hand-harvested to preserve quality, then gently pressed before fermentation, allowing the estate to shape a wine that is supple and balanced without losing varietal purity. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy brought healthy, well-ripened fruit, which typically results in wines of both intensity and freshness.

Food & Serving
This Meursault Premier Cru is an excellent match for butter-poached fish, scallops, roast chicken, veal, and dishes served with creamy sauces. It is best served slightly chilled, around 12–14°C, to show both its richness and its freshness. Decanting is not essential, but a short decant can help the wine open up if enjoyed young.
