RATINGS

92Stephen Tanzer

Ripe aromas of stone fruits, honey and clove, complemented by sexy oak tones. Sappy and intense, showing a captivating sugar/acid balance to the peach and stone flavors.

91The Wine Advocate

The palate is vibrant and generous, quite exotic, again very generous. It reminds me a little of a middle-aged man dancing a little too earnestly at a party. Yet it has so much to give, perhaps one of the most fun contributions this year, almost oily in the finish.

17+ Jancis Robinson

Introvert and carefully sculpted. A bit of weight and breadth. Refined green vegetation and a massive appetite encourager. Medium weight and extremely precise.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Meursault, Les Tessons

Meursault is one of the trio of famous Chardonnay producing appellations in the Côte d’Or. Although both red and white wines are allowed to be produced in the Meursault appellation, 98% of Meursault is Chardonnay. With a total of 2,500 acres of vineyards, there are no Grands Crus but 325 acres of Premiers Crus, which are divided into 13 main vineyards. As wine writers have often noted, Meursault’s fame is based on its Premiers Crus, including the prestigious Les Perrières, Les Genevrières and Les Charmes. Because the water table is low in Meursault, many producers have cellars here, including Comte Lafon and Jean-Francois Coche-Dury. Robert M. Parker Jr. wrote “the Premiers Crus, as well as the finest Villages Meursaults from the top vineyards, are among the easiest drinking white burgundies in the world. Why? High-quality Meursault is opulent, almost unctuous, with a fatness and a juicy, succulent, buttery, hazelnut and apple, peach-like fruitiness that often roars from the glass.”

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
