Robert Ampeau et Fils operates like no other Burgundy house: they age both reds and whites for decades in their legendarily cold cellars before release, offering a unique window into how traditional white Burgundy evolves over time. This 1999 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes arrives at your table with approximately 25 years of bottle age already completed—a rare opportunity to drink a white Burgundy that has undergone full tertiary development while retaining remarkable freshness. Charmes, considered one of Meursault's finest Premier Crus, emphasizes elegance and subtle minerality over obvious power, and at this age, shows layers of complexity that younger wines simply cannot achieve. Destemmed grapes fermented in concrete and aged in used oak barriques create wines built for longevity without oak dominance. The contrast to younger versions is striking: this wine has moved beyond simple fruit into the realm of hazelnut, brioche, and mineral complexity, yet maintains the impression of relative youth. This is the rare opportunity to experience what happens when white Burgundy gets everything right.

Focus On: Burgundy

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
