Tasting Notes

90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 10
Bright, pale yellow. Pungent aromas of lemon, crushed stone and menthol. Full, broad and rich but quite dry and backward, with a pronounced stony quality. Like the regular village wine, this struck me as riesling-like and in need of at least a couple years of patience. Ente says the r.s. here is a very low 0.7 grams per liter.

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.
