Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 16
Bright lemon-yellow color. Very pure, vibrant aromas of lemon zest and crushed stone. Wonderfully intense and primary in the mouth, with the lemon zest flavor carrying through. The mounting, almost painful finish display powerful oyster-shell salinity that leaves the taste buds vibrating. This should evolve slowly and gracefully.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 31 Oct 17
Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Bouzereau's 2014 Meursault 1er Cru les Perrières did not quite exude the complexity of the Les Perrières from either Château de Meursault or Comtes-Lafon. It feels riper with more tropical tones that get in the way of mineralité. The palate is well balanced with touches of quince and marmalade, waxy in texture and with a finish that is pleasant but just a tad overworked. That said, I suspect that bottle age will temper its exuberance, and it should result in a very fine white Burgundy.

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.
