Philippe Pacalet, Meursault Charmes Size:12x750ml The Riserva is sourced from

The Riserva is sourced from the Il Vignone site at a high 500 meters above sea level where summer breezes keep the grapes healthy and ripe

A pungent nose of soft reduction and wood toast largely pushes what appears to be ripe fruit to the background

with lively acids

indeed to the point where this robust effort is presently quite suave and agreeable

it's already delicious and should only improve for the next 5-6 years

Philippe Pacalet, Meursault Charmes Size:12x750ml The Riserva is sourced from(from Charmes Dessus). There is a vaguely leesy character to the otherwise fresh aromas of citrus rind, floral, pear and a whisper of wood. There is excellent intensity to the delicious and nicely detailed flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the bone dry finish that is also a bit attenuated. This too is going to need at least a few years to unwind and better flesh out.
