Vinous Neal Martin - 22 Nov 22
The 2018 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a very pretty bouquet with vivacious yellow plum, orange pith and crushed stone aromas that gain complexity in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that keeps this on its toes. Hints of lime and orange zest combine with wonderful salinity on the finish that feels very persistent. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

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.
