2020 Bernard Millot Meursault Les Petits Charrons

GW says: Grown just above the village, this wine is pure Meursault muscle wrapped in a velvet glove—generous, textured, and about as shy as a Burgundy sommelier at a Nebuchadnezzar unveiling.  Bernard Millot, a quiet craftsman with a cellar full of secrets, delivers a bottle that balances golden opulence with stony precision. Think a toasted brioche doing yoga on a slab of wet limestone. It’s not loud, it’s confidently buttery, with enough citrus zip to keep your palate upright and paying attention. One sip, and you’ll understand why Meursault doesn’t need Grand Cru status—it is the main character.

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

Appearance: Gleaming gold with a flash of green, like liquid couture.

Aroma: Toasted hazelnuts, ripe pear, citrus curd, and a hit of warm croissant.

Palate: Creamy, textured, with notes of lemon oil, baked apple, and a finish that hums with minerality.
