The 2010 Meursault Charmes comes across as rich, deep, sensual and totally inviting. Seamless layers of fruit caress the palate as the Charmes opens up. The balance of aromatics, fruit and structure is fabulous. Simply put, everything is in the right place. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. (Not yet released) Henri Boillot recently finished his move to a new modern cellar in Champ Lins, one of the industrial sections of Meursault. Boillot describes his 2011s as having a bit more richness and better balance of fruit and acidity than the 2010s. Based on what I tasted, it’s hard to argue that point. Boillot seems to be one case where the 2011s have the potential to be better across the board than the 2010s. As is often the case here, the village wines are particularly strong.
