Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 15
Pale yellow. Lively aromas and flavors of lemon and orange zest, ginger and minerals. An impression of sweetness (actually less than 1.5 g/l r.s., according to Leroux) is nicely leavened by lively citric cut. This well-balanced, firmly structured wine finishes juicy and long.

Meursault

Meursault, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for its rich and complex Chardonnay wines. Known for opulent textures, vibrant acidity, and nutty, buttery flavours with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and hazelnuts, these wines also feature a subtle minerality and creamy mouthfeel from limestone-rich soils and oak ageing. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, and Les Charmes produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Domaine Roulot, and Domaine Coche-Dury, all celebrated for showcasing Meursault's unique terroir.
