Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 02
Subtle aromas of tangerine, spice and minerals; quintessential Meursault, perfect with grilled crustaceans, according to Coche. At once fine and powerful; extremely youthful for a 2000, with a firm mineral backbone. Hiding its flesh today. Finishes with superb length and grip.

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.
