Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 15
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. This tactile, energetic wine seems as strong as the 2014. This has 4.6 g/l acidity and a pH of 3.18, compared to 4.3 and 3.21 for the '14, according to Roulot.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 29 Jun 15
The 2013 Meursault les Tessons has a feisty nose that is much more a bravura performance following the Les Tillets, veins of licorice developing in the glass, one of the most exotic from Jean-Marc Roulot this year. 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.

Introvert and carefully sculpted. A bit of weight and breadth. Refined green vegetation and a massive appetite encourager. Medium weight and extremely precise. Very long and promising. (JR)

Meursault Fine Wine

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.
