Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 31 Jan 19
The inaugural 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Aux Cras offers up notes of pear, ripe citrus fruit, pastry cream and blanched almonds, followed by a medium to full-bodied, generous and fruit-driven palate with juicy balancing acids and a chalky finish. Precocious and open-knit, this will drink well on release.

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.
