Tasting Notes

93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 15
Bright, pale yellow. Very ripe aromas of pineapple, crushed stone and more exotic fruits closed down quickly with air. Dense and creamy on entry, with a repeating suggestion of exotic fruits, then tighter and more backward on the very long back end. Still, this seems essentially softer and riper than the Charmes, giving an impression of lower acidity. Colin-Morey blocked the malolactic fermentation in one of the three barrels of this juice.

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.
