The 2023 Antonin Guyon Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes-Dessus is one of the top buys of the vintage for Meursault premier cru, and we have excellent pricing here today on this rare gem. Antonin started this domaine in the 60s at the age of 55, and was joined by his son in the 70s. Their first plots were purchased in Gevrey-Chambertin and Meursault, and today the domaine is located in Savigny-les-Beaune and continues to fly under the radar. This Charmes comes from the special upper and stonier section Charmes, just above the road and edging toward Perrières, where thin limestone and marl give fantastic energy and mineral drive. Hand-harvested Chardonnay is whole-cluster pressed, fermented in French oak, and aged for 12 to 14 months, with a restrained share of new barrels and minimal stirring to maintain site transparency. The vintage’s ripe yet bright profile shows here as lemon oil, pear, white peach, almond, and a clean flinty line, finishing long and saline. It is a precise, quietly powerful Meursault that will drink well on release after a brief splash and improve for five to ten years. With limited production and a prime position in Charmes-Dessus, this is a high-confidence buy for clients looking for an outstanding Meursault 1er from this excellent vintage at a great low price! Highly recommended, this is the perfect way to get with Guyon!
Vinous (Neil Martin) 92+ points! "The 2023 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru has a Puligny-like bouquet, quite strict and more malic than expected, probably requiring more time to open in the glass. The palate is well balanced and fresh with a fine bead of acidity, light wild peach and apricot notes and a commendable complexity on the nuanced finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle to allow the aromatics to open."
Burghound 91-93 points! "An admirably subtle application of wood can be found on the pretty aromas of mineral reduction, lemon rind and a cool range of floral influences. Here too there is very fine volume and density on the super-sleek and lightly stony flavors that exhibit excellent persistence on the balanced, youthfully austere and classy finale. This is lovely and worth checking out."
