He has been purchasing more vineyards to add to the domaine ever since. When his wife would allow it. On one early visit she announced that he could not buy any more Grand Cru vineyards. I think he had just bought some Corton Charlemagne. I have been tasting these wines for 14 years. They have improved with each successive vintage. The domaine now owns 5 hectares of vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll along Mark has been guided by Pierre Meurgey, a fourth-generation wine trader, winemaker and vineyard owner.

Charmes is one of Meursault's most famous 1er Crus, sitting on the gentle lower slope with Perrieres above it and Genevrieres to its north, and it traditionally gives a wine that splits the difference between Meursault's classic richness and a more crystalline, mineral lift. The 2023 from this organically and biodynamically farmed five-hectare estate is a textbook expression: a perfumed nose of white peach, lemon curd, and crushed almond opens to a palate that is creamy yet driven, with cool stone definition underneath the orchard fruit and a long, saline finish.

Mark O'Connell's Clos de la Chapelle, founded in 2011 in Volnay and farmed organically and biodynamically, has worked this site since the estate's early years; it gives a Volnay that is classically perfumed but with a little more flesh than the cooler 1er Crus higher up the slope. The 2023 leans into the vintage's bright, energetic profile: aromas of red cherry, cranberry, and crushed violets, with a touch of warm spice; the palate is medium-bodied and silky, with fine tannins, lifted acidity, and a finish that stays floral and pure.

Today it is farmed organically and biodynamically alongside the rest of the five-hectare estate, and it is treated, rightly, as the flagship cuvee. The 2023 is dense and perfumed in classic Volnay style: dark cherry, raspberry, violet, and a quiet undercurrent of spice and stone, with fine, polished tannins and the lifted acidity the vintage is known for.
