95 James Suckling

"From the top part of the premier cru slope where the temperatures are a bit cooler, this elegant, medium-bodied wine has kept its freshness and acidity during a hot vintage. So mellow, layered and smooth, offering baked apples, vanilla and nutmeg nuances and a lingering finish. Drink now or hold."

92-94 Jasper Morris

"No deeper in colour than its stable mates but broader in bouquet, offering a fleshy white fruit. The balance here is impeccable on the palate, with fine acidity behind that supports the generosity of fruit. A good example. Drink from 2030-2037."

92-94 Neal Martin - Vinous

"The 2022 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has a well-defined and elegant bouquet: yellow plum, quince and touches of crushed stone. The palate is taut, fresh, and well-defined, with a subtle reduction at play. The acidity is well-judged and nicely poised, yet it delivers the intensity and depth one expects from this Premier Cru. It is very promising and a worthy follow-up to the excellent 2021."

90-92 Burghound

"This is aromatically similar to the straight Meursault if perhaps just a bit spicier. On the palate though there is notably better size and weight to the solidly powerful and concentrated medium-bodied flavors that flash a subtle minerality on the very dry yet only mildly austere finale. Note that this is firm enough to suggest that most of a decade will be necessary to see this at its peak."

90-92 Wine Advocate

"Aromas of pear, peach, hazelnuts, white flowers and buttery pastry preface the 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, satiny and charming wine with lively acids and a saline finish. It's the finest Charmes that Jadot has produced from the former Prieur-Brunet holdings to date. Winemaker Frédéric Barnier and his team have produced another strong portfolio chez Jadot, with a relatively abundant crop of charming, pure and demonstrative wines, with alcohol back in more normal territory after the highs of 2018, 2019 and 2020. As I've written before, in the cellar, foudres and 500-liter barrels now complement classic 228-liter pièces, a further evolution adapting to warmer, riper vintages. A cold room also helps chill down any fruit that's too warm when it enters the winery. 2022 is also the second vintage of organic conversion for the Domaine Louis Jadot and the Domaine Gagey."
