Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Meursault Village was taken from various barrels to respect the final blend and comprises: En la Barre, Tillets, Meix Tavaux, Les Corbins, Sous La Velle, Les Chaumes and Le Pré de Manche. It has a very refined bouquet, beautifully delineated with a slight touch of oyster shell. The palate is very well balanced with fine acidity, a slight honeyed texture but there is sufficient tension to keep this fresh and vital. Touches of pear and stem ginger on the aftertaste. This is excellent - a blend that really works and a brave and wise decision by Jobard.

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.
