Tasting notes

The 2024 Les Charmes-Godard Blanc is another superb wine from Nicolas Thienpont in a vintage where all the wines are brilliant. A wine of richness and substance, the 2024 very much reflects the record-high level of Sémillon in the blend. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, chalk and a kiss of French oak meld together as the 2024 shows off its inimitable pedigree. Bracing saline notes linger on the impossibly long finish. The 2024 was aged in 500-liter barrels, about 10% new. I can't remember a Charmes Godard that I crave this much. Tasted two times.

Take your time with this one, really does need a moment to open and show the white peach and pear. Leafy, on the steely side, but good quality, with slate scrape, fresh, with density, fragrant spice, apple blossom, white mango juice on the finish, stretches out through the palate. Harvest 18 to 23 September 15% new oak, fermented and aged in 500l casks. Nicolas Thienpont owner. Tasted twice. One to look out for.
