Tasting Notes

90-93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 17
(Colin has just a single one-year-old 500-liter barrel of this juice): Ripe but very reticent nose hints at green apple. Tactile, peppery, dry and classic, conveying a dusty impression of extract. Tight, primary flavors of peach and white peach show a savory, sappy quality. Here's a young 2016 that might be compared to a 2010. This still needs further élevage to stretch out, and lose some of its CO2.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 29 Jun 18
Pierre-Yves Colin purchases the grapes that produced his 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, but he farms the parcel himself. And it's a success in this challenging vintage, exhibiting dramatic aromas of peach and preserved citrus, framed by nutty new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, chewy and concentrated, with good depth and substance. It's not as elegant as the Genevrières, but it's similarly promising.

In the middle of Lafon’s pacel, under Perrières. Quite high. Before it was made by Lafon – 20 years ago. Barrel sample. Broad and charming indeed. Real depth and undertow. Like fermented lemon cough sweets – some real richness as well as crystalline structure. Richer than most of his wines on the mid palate and then super-tight on the end. Incredibly long. (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.
