90-92The Wine Advocate

...quite complex bouquet with a fine mineral core, touches of undergrowth and gun flint developing with time in the glass. The palate is well balanced with almond and citrus fruit on the entry, a racy thread of acidity with nutmeg and walnut on the vibrant finish. This is a very well-crafted, character-driven Meursault...

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Meursault, Blagny

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
