Tasting Notes

89-91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 14
Aroma of sweet lemon drop. Then rounder on the palate than the Clos des Ambres, with its bracing acidity (5.2 grams per liter!) buffered by a degree of sucrosite that's extraordinary for a chardonnay carrying just 12.4% alcohol. The strong acidity extends the wine's intense peach and pineapple fruit on the finish.

This parcel is by Grands Charrons and Chevaliers. Rich palate entry and then almost compensates for the fine acidity and determined lack of flab. I would still wait for this for quite a while however. Chewy and demanding. I wouldn’t mind a bit more juice. (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.
