Vinous Neal Martin - 12 Dec 23
The 2019 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru has a complex bouquet that blossoms in the glass: mineral-driven citrus fruit, grilled hazelnuts, dandelion and nettle. The aromatics here are very involving and keep dragging you back to the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, exquisite poise and delicate furnishings of stem ginger, lemon rind and crushed stone. It maintains precision through its tensile finish, which contains the sapidity to draw you back for another sip immediately. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest 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.
