Offering up aromas of buttered citrus fruit, Anjour pear, dried white flowers and fresh pastry, Boillot's 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes is medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with an ample core of exuberant fruit, lively acids and an expansive finish. This is a fleshy, fruit-driven Charmes that will offer a broad drinking window.

The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes exhibits pretty aromas of yellow orchard fruits, dried white flowers, pear and praline, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample palate that's layered, saline and pure, with good concentration and underlying tension. This is quite a delicate, classy rendition of Charmes that eschews the overt muscularity of which the site is capable.

The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes has a precise, citrus and yellow plum-scented bouquet with more minerality showing here than the Poruzots at the moment. The palate is taut and linear, but with admirable weight, a gentle grip in the mouth and a touch of spice and orange rind adorning the finish. This is one of the best Meursault '13s from Henri Boillot.

Things get much more serious with the 2011 Meursault Les Charmes, which is a huge step up from the preceding wines in this lineup of Meursaults. It boasts stunning richness, density and minerality, all while remaining relatively light on its feet. There is weightlessness and textural polish to the Charmes that is simply remarkable. This is a gorgeous showing from Henri Boillot. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. (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.
