Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 28 Dec 16
From 70-year-old vines that tend to produce small bunches, the 2015 Meursault 1er Cru les Bouchères demanded some coaxing from the glass, ultimately yielding orange zest, granitic scents, a touch of sea spray. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, nice tension here with a crisp, slightly austere finish that nevertheless displays fine precision. This is one of the best from winemaker Patrick Essa this year.

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.
