"An attractively layered nose combines notes of pear, apple, lemon zest and a touch of matchstick character, all of which is again trimmed in subtle but not imperceptible wood. The succulent and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors aren’t as concentrated or powerful possess though they are noticeably finer on the sappy and balanced finale this is dry in the best sense. Lovely stuff that is really quite classy."

"The 2023 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru has a complex bouquet that is also quite sensual. Touches of orange blossom and quince, hints of hazelnut and almond percolate through with time. This is very harmonious. The palate is wonderful, delivering the weight and depth one expects from this vineyard. It's a little spicier than its peers with a persistent finish that leaves you wanting more. This is superb." —Neal Martin

"Fleshy and seamless, the 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes offers up aromas of peach, toasted nuts and apple blossom, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered palate. With good depth and tension but a charming personality, it will offer a broad drinking window." —William Kelley

"Mid lemon. Apple, lemon and peach. Lots of weight and a little creamy richness. Zesty acidity adds good definition to this textured, ample and concentrated premier cru." —Matthew Hayes

More about Hermann Ludes

Julian Ludes took over his uncle Hermann's winery in the Mosel in 2020 and immediately started pushing harder into raw, reductive Riesling. Twelve hectares of steep vineyards including the legendary Ritsch site (with old ungrafted vines) ferment wild, stay in barrel as long as they need, and never get the lab-coat treatment. This is minimal-intervention Mosel made modern.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
