The 2016 Meursault Charmes from Laurent Ponsot is a delightful surprise to be honest - as the 2016 whites can be somewhat high on the concentration. I have not tasted many white Ponsots before, but this is text-book Meursault - fresh and vivid - no low yield intensity to cloud the expression of …
Very Fine (93 - 94)
