Ballot-Millot’s 2020 Meursault Charmes comes from old vines farmed with organic-minded practices in one of Meursault’s most generous Premier Cru sites. Charles Ballot emphasizes purity through low-intervention vinification and restrained oak use.

The wine balances ripe orchard fruit with bright acidity and saline minerality. A layered, precise expression of Charmes that shows the domaine’s refined, terroir-focused style.

Left Ballot Millot

Ballot-Millot et Fils is an outstanding domaine in Meursault with phenomenal holdings in the village's top crus, Charles Ballot is producing precise, tensile, racy yet exuberant wines. There is very little new oak used. These are modern white Burgundies, they are transparent and reflect their respective terroirs.

Charles has been in charge of the farming, winemaking, and cellar work since 2001. His grandparents started the domaine, and he inherited additional vines from his mother, who is related to the Lochardet-Dancer family. He farms according to lutte raisonnée — he works as organically as he can without sacrificing the crop. New oak is limited to 15% for village wines and up to 25% for the premier crus. The wines are bottled after about 16 months in barrel.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 94
"A smoky and vaguely toasty nose reflects notes of petrol, poached pear and pretty spice nuances. There is a finer texture to the highly energetic medium-bodied flavors that possess a gorgeous mouthfeel, all wrapped in a racy, pure, focused and beautifully long finale." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2020 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has a harmonious and complex bouquet with yellow fruit, beeswax, crushed stone and hazelnut scents. The oak is (again) very well-integrated. The palate is fresh and lightly spiced on the entry, with modest weight and concentration, gaining depth towards the finish with plenty of extract and complexity. Composed, mineral-driven and poised, this is a superb Les Charmes. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes has turned out especially well, perhaps unsurprisingly given the parcel's location in an enclave within Lafon's holdings next to the Tessier family's block. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of orange oil, pear, clear honey, toasted nuts and iodine that are framed by a deft touch of reduction, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with tangy acids and a long, saline finish. Just typing up this tasting note prompted me to add a few bottles to my cellar." -William Kelley
