Tasting Notes

92-94
Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 14 Jan 21
Aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, toasted almonds, iodine and struck match preface the 2019 Meursault À Mon Plaisir Clos du Haut Tesson, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping wine that's textural but chiseled, its ripe core of fruit girdled by bright acids. This is a powerful, muscular Tesson that I look forward to revisiting in bottle.

The 2019 Meursault À Mon Plaisir Clos du Haut Tesson has a fragrant bouquet with pressed white flowers, touches of jasmine and yellow plum. This shows slightly more reductive traits compared to the Les Luchets and Meix Chavaux. The palate is vibrant on the entry, taut and fresh. Fine acidity with an edgy nectarine and lemon zest driven finish. There is a surfeit of energy here, its tenderness belying its power.

East-facing site, a little lower in elevation than Luchets, shared with Pierre Morey. Planted in 1959. Tank sample.A bit soft on the nose. Nice savour on the end. Spine and structure. Hint of veginess to animate the whole. Welcome lift. (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.
