The only cuvée that was vinified entirely in 228-liter barrels chez Colin this year is the 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes. Bursting with aromas of pear, peach, citrus oil, freshly baked bread, pastry cream and anise, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, with a fleshy core of fruit, racy acids and chalky grip on the finish. This is very promising.

The latest rendition of one of Colin's longest-standing cuvées is the 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, a lovely wine that exhibits scents of lemon zest, orange oil, fresh peach, pear, white flowers and buttered toast. Medium to full-bodied, layered and broad-shouldered, it's deep and lively, with fine concentration, chalky structuring extract and a mineral finish.
